I'd say we gave more than everything. But you do still have something to go back to, if you wanted.
[Every time they thought they'd done all they could, whenever they felt like giving up, that shitty world of theirs dumped more misfortune in their laps. Raised the stakes even higher, leaving them no choice but to strive on forward through all the hurt to protect what they could.]
[When you put it like that, it seems really fucking stupid to even entertain the thought that someone would want to go back to it. But they'd been at the dinner the night before, and Gabi had been telling Hange all about her life once the dust had settled, with Levi and Falco. It sounded nice, peaceful almost. Maybe the two of them had talked about it here. Maybe he wanted to go back to that.]
[This time it's Hange's turn to refrain from looking at either of them, opting to turn and face the lake instead, focusing on the ripples as water gently washes against its banks. ]
['Then stay Captain'. 'I am. If they let me.']
Right...
[The glasses come off for just a moment, Hange wiping their eye with a sleeve (it's just dust! honest!) before turning back around to face the two of them. They really had been thinking the worst for no reason, huh..]
Then let's stay.
[Hange looks at Eren, then to Levi, then back at Eren.]
All three of us, let's stay.
[Their focus turns back to Levi. Since this entire conversation was brought about due to miscommunication and people not letting the others know what they feel clearly enough:]
shingeki no happiness here

I want you both to stay.
