Chapter 95: Missing Light

Before I could even settle myself down on one of the chairs, Dr. Joy popped her head out the door, holding Annie's ringing phone. She took in my shambled appearance for a second, but made no comment about it and turned to Annie.

"Annie, someone's been calling you."

The blonde girl looked up lazily. "Who?"

"Levi."

*

"It's been a while."

I raised a brow at his statement, briefly glancing at Annie who was walking away after Levi told her that he wanted to talk to me. "It's only been a few days. What were you up to anyways?"

"I..." Levi trailed off, clearing his throat. "I was occupied... with something."

"Should I know what you were occupied with?"

"No!" Levi answered immediately. "It's nothing impor-- oi, give it bac--...-...--.... HE WAS SICK!!!"

A new voice shouted loudly, making me jerk the phone away from my ear. I winced in pain, cupping my ear for a few seconds as it recovered. "Ugh... who is this?"

"Wow, (Y/N). Do you really not remember me? Do I have to conduct some experiments on you so that you'll remember?"

I gasped. "Hanji??"

"YUP! Hiyaaa (Y/N)!!"

"Hanji!" I jumped up gleefully, a wide smile on my lips as I clutched the phone tighter. "It's so good to hear from you!"

Hanji laughed on the other line. "I should be the one saying that!! It's been so long!"

"It has," I chuckled, closing my eyes to imagine Hanji being her usual self as I remember.

"Can I video call you??"

I hesitated, looking down at my bruised body and dirty clothes. "I-- maybe another time. I don't look too good."

"Why?"

"Just finished rolling around on wet soil," I joked half-heartedly.

"Oh, wh—..---.-..." Another voice cut Hanji. " You did what? Go and clean yourself!"

"Levi?"

"Go and take a bath-- why would you even roll around on dirt. That's disgusting."

"It was accident okay? Like hell I'll just drop down and start swimming in dirt."

"Whatever. Go and clean yourself. Now."

"No, mom," I retorted with a roll of my eyes. "I'm going to sit down a bit."

"Why? You're going to get whatever you're sitting on dirty as well!"

"I'll clean it afterwards! Geez, I forgot how much of a clean freak you were. Now pipe down, my arms hur--" I cut off abruptly.

I didn't want Levi to know what just happened.

"You arms what? Hurt? What happened? Are you injured? Is the wound bleeding?"

"No, it's not bleeding. It's just a small bruise," I lied. "No biggy."

"But you said arms. Both of your arms are bruised then. That can't be small. How did you even smack both your arms on a table?"

"Wh- what?? I didn't smack my arms on a table. Where the fuck are you even making these assumptions?"

"Because that's mostly--..." Levi paused, his voice slightly fainter when he spoke again. "Hanji, back the fuck off. I'm talking to (Y/N), she's hurt."
