Ch3: No World Without Walls (on AO3) “I don’t think you’re going to kill me, Levi…” Hange observed, chin resting against clasped hands, “I can tell you’re undecided about what to do. However, now that you know my name, it’s going to be harder for you to get rid of me.”
“Is that so?”
“Giving the bug a name is decisive because then it’s no longer an ‘it.’ Rather, it becomes something familiar. Through understanding it a little better, you learn to fear it less.”
Series recap: Marleyan scientist Hange Zoe receives a hostile welcome from Levi and his regiment when they inadvertently wash ashore on the coastal border near Wall Maria. Levi is suspicious of the Military Police’s involvement with a group of defectors caught fleeing the island.
