More illusions continued to spring up around Mikasa. They weren't of nyone in particular, just a mass of people all moving towards her, crowding her.

"No...No!" She moaned, hiding her face away behind her mask. "I hate crowds...I hate them..."

The Shadows turned to look at her, seeming worried, if they were even capable of that. They could see she was panicking. Her hands were shaking again.

"I'll kill them..." Mikasa whispered in an unsteady voice. "Kill him! Save her!"

Shadows surrounded her hands again as she knelt on the floor. The Breton laughed and placed her hands on the ground. Shadowy tendrils spread out along the floor and shot up at where the illusions were, forming spikes and stabbing each one through the heart.

Of course, to everyone else, it seemed that she was stabbing thin air.

"Get out of my face!"

Petra and Levi were watching the sunset from the roof of Fort Farragut. It had been an intense day full of cleaning and laughing, but their job was only halfway done. Most of the Fort was clean and it already felt like a better place to live.

"See..." Petra mumbled. "Just because we're the Dark Brotherhood doesn't mean we have to live in such a gloomy place."

Levi nodded quietly, looking at Petras happy expression without her even realising.

''I should say now...While he's still missing. ''

"Hey, Petra?"

Petra turned her head to face him now, noticing how closely he was sitting to her. "Mmm?"

"Don't take this the wrong way but I think..."

"Think what?"

Levi sighed and took the female Imperials hand, squeezing it slightly as he gazed deeply into Petras eyes, his heart pounding. Warning him not to do this.

"I think Kaizen only did those things with you to keep you on his side..."

The smile faded from Petras face as she looked away. She returned to watching the road for the Black Argonian.

"That's not true..." Petra whispered angrily, tearing her hand out of Levis. "He needs me. He appreciates me. He lo-"

"No." Levi interrupted, turning Petras face to force her to look at him again. "He doesn't. He's using you."

"Stop it! He freed me..." Petra said with a wobbly voice. "He understands me..."

"Petra...." Levi whispered, bringing his face closer to hers. "He only keeps you around for entertainment. Why can't you see that?"

"I can't see a lie..."

The Male Imperial sighed and locked eyes with the female again. "You're crazy Petra. It makes me speechless."

"Speechless?" Petra asked. I guess Kaizen was right...

"Well...quite a lot about you makes me speechless."

"I really dou-"

Petra was silenced as Levi gave in to his feelings and kissed her on the mouth. Petras hands were balled into fists she was feeling so angry, until something in her brain clicked and whirred into action.

He's so gentle...

Her hands unfurled and wrapped themselves around the back of Levis neck as she returned the kiss.

Once again, her mind was arguing with itself.

''What are you doing Petra!? He'll kill you if he finds out! ''

He won't find out...

''He will! I thought you loved him? ''

I do...But he could be dead for all I know!

''Petra! Stop this! You know he's alive! Listen to your instincts! ''

I'm so lonely though...

''What happened to never betraying him!? ''

''This isn't like that... ''

Don't lie to yourself!

Petra exhaled and pulled away, her face red as she hastily stood up. "D-d-d-on't ever do th-that ag-a-a-in!" She stammered, rushing away back into the Fort. Back to Kaizens room with tears welling up in her eyes.

Levi meanwhile, sat dumbstruck.

''That was amazing! One step closer to making her see the truth of our glorious leader and his manipulation!''
