[The only thing Levi hears is something about a detriment (merciful that he doesn't have to see the faces of his fallen comrades through their reaper's eyes, really).
[It's not an easy lesson for a kid to learn. He gets that. But he hopes he's making some sort of impact anyway. His body feels more real than it ever has, and he's tired. It's weird to think that eventually he might have to default to words as his weapon of choice.]
It doesn't feel like enough. I know. It's hard not to take responsibility when you care. [He has, for the record, not heard what Aubrey has shared with Eren.]
What you can do - what you can change - it'll matter to someone. Could even change their life.
[Before the thought can manifest:]
You couldn't have saved him, Aubrey. No one could have.
So, you...do what you can, then. [His final words are exhausted. Figures Eren gets to sleep after all this. Levi wouldn't sneeze at a bed right about now.]
