[Hijikata likewise brightens up even more. Hange is the first person from that goddamn titan-infested world to actually tell him about something good that happened there, and it's healing. Hearing that they were able to kill titans without putting their lives on the line almost makes him do a little fist pump (he leaves it at an excited clench).

His take-away regarding Eren, given the way Hange's joy momentarily clouds over, is that he must have suffered even more than Hijikata realised. Just how much did he go through..? It must've been worse than hell itself. But it's all the more of a relief that everyone (not everyone, but at least a good chunk of the people Eren cares about the most) are here now, are safe now.]

Jean had already told me that you're really resourceful... have you considered working at the Research Centre?

[Unless that's already the case!

He wants to ask more questions about the wall titans, but the other matter that really gives him pause is bothering him more. He's hesitant to drag down the mood by bringing up one of the worst moments he witnessed - the one from Levi's memory portal -, but he really wants to understand what he saw.]

Another thing I don't get about titans is that... well, when Levi beat the Beast Titan, he wanted to find someone else to inject with something and... eat the titan shifter. I assume that means it'd have turned the other person into a titan, too?

[But there's no way Levi would turn anyone into a titan for good, which means--]

Into a titan shifter, rather? Does the blood of titan shifters turn other people into their kind?
