[When he gets Levi out of the cage, Erwin gets a better look at the damage, and it makes him wince. Levi's arms and legs are elongated, stretched to their breaking point, and his muscles lie flat and wasted under his skin. No wonder he wasn't able to get out on his own.]
[Erwin lifts him as best he can, and carries him away from the cage. Levi smells of dried blood, chemicals, and rancid sweat, and his grip on Erwin is far too weak. The first priority is getting him out of this room with the gas, and somewhere safe.]
[Except where is safe, in Santa Rosita? And how far is Erwin going to be able to carry Levi, with only one arm? The muscles in his stump are already throbbing with Levi's weight, but Erwin pushes gamely on, trying to put as much distance as he can between the cage and the two of them. The further they get, the more Erwin starts to lag, the muscles in his right shoulder going rigid and tense with effort.]
Levi? Levi, do you remember anything about being brought here?
[Erwin has decided to backtrack, retracing his steps. He has no idea what's ahead, or how long it would take to navigate. At least, going backwards, he has an idea of what's coming up.]
