   Summary

   After the massacre of his squad, Captain Levi locks himself away in silence and guilt. When Commander Erwin orders him to train a new generation of soldiers, Levi reluctantly returns to the field: only to find that one recruit’s presence cracks the armor he’s spent a lifetime forging.

   In the Survey Corps, secrets are as common as blood, and trust can be deadlier than any Titan.
