Ironically, so is Levi. He's used to being the calm voice, set in what it says, when all shit has hit the fan. Keeping his squad on the right path, making sure plans go ahead regardless of any hiccups along the way. So to find himself completely out of his depth, confused and once more, alone, had rattled his cage enough that he allows himself a moment to be human to feel panic and fear... The stranger before, her voice was inside, settling, grounding him in the moment, helping him to focus.
Levi has to tilt his chin a little to be able to look her in the eyes, while she stands there, pinning him to the wall like an immovable object. He huffs out a breath or two, slight discomfort in being restrained in such a non-combative manner. He's not used to it. At all.
"I see a land without the Walls... But it's not green or blue like the stories and fables said it would be... It's dark and grey. Not a Wall in sight and yet I can't see past these disgusting buildings, as tall as trees..." Closing his eyes, straightening his back, and nodding slowly. She was right, he could adjust; he needed to adjust if he was going to survive here long enough to find a way back home.
