...Hange died. [ That is, honestly, one of the hardest parts for him in this conversation, but it just doesn't feel right to leave out the cost of their effort to save the world. He hopes they don't hate him for it. He also hopes Hijikata understands this is also off-limits to Jean and Mikasa, but he'll reiterate if needed. ] This world is all they have. [ After a moment, he adds in a mumble, ] All we have.
[ He shakes his head, continues. ]
But we did stop it. Eventually. I don't know how much of the world was left by then.
[ Can it really be called a success? He doesn't know. But it's not a failure, either. ]
[ It wasn't for nothing. That's more than they could say for most of their lives until then. ]
I didn't stick around long enough after that battle... I ended up here instead. But Gabi has seen three more years after it. It seems about a fifth of humanity survived. They were able to rebuild.
[ Does Hijikata know who Gabi is? Well, he's free to ask, just in case he wants to hear more details about the fallout of the omnicide from her, but Levi suspects he won't, which is probably for the best. ]
[ But look, there's a tiny smidgeon of hope there at the end? Sort of? ]
