[ Levi doesn't think anything of it. He's sort of used to it now, but he knows the way he looks now can be jarring the first time someone sees him, especially if they knew him before.

...It's not silly. [ He finally manages, and turns away to look at the dancing lights again, or perhaps he's just avoiding looking directly at Armin, the way he so often seems to do when he's trying to express something personal. ] The way you can see the world. It's your strength.
[ It will be what saves them all in the end, won't it? ]
