Hanji settled down in her most comfortable chair in her ever so comfy laboratory. She was a tad bit bored, and was thinking about what she hadn't done while checking off her internal checklist. She could annoy Levi, but he was probably still upset about the glitter incident so better not. Her eyes drifted over to the two journals she'd "borrowed" while she had been cleaning the rooms. Her face lit up as she realized that she was bored no more.

Hanji jumped out of her comfortable chair and ran over to the two journals laying on one of the many tables in the room. She stared at them for a few seconds, trying to decide which one to look at first. In the end, she couldn't decide so she played a quick game. She landed on the plain journal, the one that belonged to Jessica Lamprey. Hanji gingerly picked it up, pretending that it was her most recent specimen and plopped back down into super comfortable chair. Hanji opened up the cover and started to read it. It read:

Jessica Lamprey

Squad 6

How do I say this, hi. I don't know why I'm doing this, but I guess it's better than talking to myself again and being caught. How embarrassing that was. Anyways, it's 843 and I've just joined the Scouting Regiment, for reasons I don't even know. I want to be someone who's really brave and can protect her family and friends. I think that's why I joined, but the reason isn't extremely clear to even myself and I made the decision in the first place.

I hope I can do this. I have always been a bit shy and a bit of a coward. I get to see who my squad members are tomorrow. I hope they're all nice and all, and they won't mind my shyness. I just can't help it. These will be the people that I work with for the rest of my life, unless one of them gets a promotion or something, because it definitely won't be me.

Hanji felt a little bad for her. Jessica lacked a lot of confidence and was way too shy for her own good. Hanji remembered that this person was dead... her happy mood that came about from sitting in her favorite comfortable chair started to slip away as she continued to read. She read the next entry.

Well, I met my squad today. I'm in Squad 6, my favorite number. It's my favorite, because it was the best year of my life. I'm not gonna get into that right now, though. I've got other stuff I want to talk about. I met my squad and I feel like I made a bad impression. My shyness always gets in my way, and I hate being shy, but whenever I try to not be, I end up being awful at it. I feel like I came off as rude when I refused to talk to any of them or shake their hands. I hope they don't think too badly of me.

All of them seemed pretty interesting. If I remember correctly, there were 5 people in our squad. There were three guys and two girls including myself. Kyle, Blake, and Kido were the guys' names and the other girl's name was Cameron. They're all really nice, except for Kyle. Kyle seems to have this thing about touch and he didn't shake hands with anyone or say a pleasant hello. In fact, I'm pretty sure he said something to Kido about him having dirty hands. I don't think anyone really likes him all that much. I'm not going to give up on him so easily, though. Everybody has thoughts and feelings, maybe he thinks no one will listen to him.

The girl Cameron is somewhat nice. Not as nice as Blake was, but she was nice. She seemed really determined and brave. While I was having a conversation with her, she talked a lot about having an honorable death. She was so persistent on the fact that if you die out on the field, you're dying honorably. I disagree however. Death is death, and it's never glorious to die.

Well, on that happy note, I think I'll leave you.

Hanji looked at how thick and filled out the journal was. She didn't feel like reading all of that, so she started to skip forward. She skipped to somewhere in the middle of the book. It read as follows.

We're going out on our first expedition later in the week. I think I'll be too stressed out preparing for the expedition to really write in here. So, this'll be missing a few days for the first time.

Wow, Hanji though. She must really care about writing in here to not have missed one day. She continued.

I'm a little bite scared. I mean, I've never really seen a titan before. I mean, I see them all the way at the bottom of the wall, banging against it and trying to get in. I've seen them in drawings as well, but I've never actually experienced a titan attack. This will be my first time and I hope I get at least one kill, and I hope that none of my friends get severely injured. Or even worse, die.

I'm having to train constantly and it's really annoying sometimes, but necessary. I could be doing other things, but then I remember that I really don't have anything else to do. Wow, I've never realized how boring I am. I was walking around last night, because I couldn't sleep, and it was pretty late so I didn't expect anyone to be out there. That's why I was extremely surprised when I bumped into Kyle out there walking the same as me.

No one really knows much about him, even though we've known him for months now. He's so quiet and has a really unapproachable face. I think I've figured out a little something, though. He doesn't like it when people act unkind to others. For example, we were having to train a couple of days ago and I got paired up with someone who I didn't know. We had to fake-fight them, so I was going a bit easier on him. He got upset at me halfway through, I think it was because he said I was going too easy, and when we sparred again he actually punched me in the stomach.

I knew that he'd done it on purpose, but I couldn't take him so I wasn't going to mention anything, but Kyle had been watching us spar and he walked over to us immediately and started talking to the man I was sparring. The person I was sparring, who was apologizing with false sincerity and it was making Kyle angrier, obviously. He asked to spar with my partner and my partner agreed. Kyle then punched him in the face and said, "Sorry." Just as my partner had been saying to me. Kyle made sure I was okay and walked away to go back to sparring with Kido. I lucked out that day and didn't train for the rest of the session. Well, that person doesn't like me very much haha.

I met Kyle walking around outside late at night and he just said that he couldn't sleep. I asked him if he had insomnia and he didn't know what that was. Once we got talking, he told me that he was nervous about the expedition too. I didn't care to hide my surprise I was so tired. I think Kyle may look really mean and unapproachable on the outside, but I think he really cares.

Kyle reminded Hanji of a certain perpetually pissed-off midget she knew. She started shipping Jessica and Kyle just then. It was fun to bring out her inner fangirl for a quick second before she'd remind herself that these people had died. The fact that they were all dead really was a big bummer.

Hanji heard footsteps coming down the stairs into her basement laboratory. She panicked a bit as she tried to hide the journals that she'd "borrowed" before whoever it was coming down the stairs saw them. She ended up just sitting on them.

"Hanji!" It was the one-and-only perpetually pissed-off midget.

"Ya, Levi?"

"Be on the look out for thieves. Apparently someone stole something from this girl's room and she's really upset about it. You wouldn't happen to know anything about that would you?" He said with an accusing tone.

"What? Why would I know anything about that stuff I haven't stolen anything!"

"I never said you did Shitty Glasses, jeez. I wouldn't have come to warn you, Erwin told me to tell you so don't think it means anything."

"I wouldn't dare."

"Good. Also, it's dinner time. Get up and come on before Sasha eats it."

Hanji got up and ran up the stairs leaving Levi behind at the bottom of the stairs. She screamed, "NEVER AGAIN SASHA!"
