Socha

Erwin, the slave to his dream, chasing after it through the corpses of his comrades. Hange, the slave to curiosity, the need to ask, to check, to learn, to learn, to learn. Just let me learn, even if it results in pain or death. Eren the slave to freedom in his own words. And Levi. Levi the slave to bring a savior. To the need of protecting his loved ones. Levi who said 'i don't need dreams, and you can chase endlessly after your dream, as long as you let me follow you'. I don't need to know how the world works but you can keep diving down the rabbit hole as long as you let me protect you. I don't want to be able to go outside the walls or see the sea or live in luxury. But you can all do that. Please do that. But just let me be there so I can keep you safe.

Because for Levi the only thing that mattered were his people. And it's a tragic twist that this slave to human bonds became the one to be the door to freedom for everyone else. By freeing Erwin from his dream and it's burden, by letting Hange run into a titan's done, knowing he had their back, and by letting them die when they wanted by carrying on what was left. And freeing Eren by breaking the founder titan's connection and then making way for Mikasa in the end. No wonder when Eren saw Levi in action for the first time, his first thought was not "oh the scouts are here" it was "the wings of freedom".
