It's full of other weird gross creatures! Of course some of them could be dangerous!
[ You just don't care, he almost adds, but stops himself. That wouldn't be fair. He knows they do. Hange loves their friends and subordinates, they just... get caught up in the joy of discovery, or whatever, and there's certainly lots to discover in this place. Wasn't Levi the one who told them to live life fully now that they didn't have (as many) other responsibilities to worry about? ]
[ Can't argue with himself, after all. ]
[ But he just can't -- doesn't want to -- go through that again. He doesn't want to have to watch them die. He's seen enough friends and loved ones dying at this point. That's enough. Enough. ]
...just don't forget your promise.
[ Their mutual non-death pact. Don't leave me again. ]
[ He clutches the handle of the bucket tighter and glares down at the jellyfish. It's starting to look a little wilty; the water in the bucket is probably getting too warm. Lucky you, he thinks bitterly. But Hange is behaving and he doesn't want to upset them more by squashing the thing when he agreed not to. ]
[ He hops over some rocks to get further into the sea -- sure, his boots are already soaked, but he's not repeating that performance for the fuckin creature -- then winds up, and uses his pent up aggression to chuck the contents of the bucket as far into the water as he can (keeping the bucket, though). The jellyfish sort of splats into the ocean and sinks beneath the surface, and Levi makes his way back to the shore. ]
...Fine. [ He can stab the ramen and pretend that it's the jellyfish! ] But I want to change clothes first.
[ There's only so long he's willing to tolerate artificial piss water soaked shoes after all. ]
