Doing that veteran thing...

Did anyone else notice the train seems to loop back on itself?

[That sudden psychic broadcast is brought to you with a great deal of excitement, because of course it is. For those new Travelers who didn't already get an introduction via Joscelin, welcome to the Psychic network! Confusion is to be expected. It's okay, Souji's got your back.]

And I saw some new faces while I was walking around, so, hello! This is probably confusing, but don't worry. You can ask pretty much anyone here for help, we're used to it by now. I'm Souji, by the way. [Well, one of them, anyway...] Don't worry. This is all perfectly normal. [...ish.]

["Gone", huh? ...Interesting.]

What do you mean by 'gone'?

[Armin had mentioned 'dungeons', or something like that, he's pretty sure, so if Levi had to guess he'd assume it has something to do with that; if that's the case, he wants to find out a little more about what that means for the people stuck there. You know, so he's not completely ignorant.

Whether that's the case or not, though, he's curious. And bored. There isn't even anything to clean, what kind of hell is this?]

It seems I've been in a maze for the last six Jaunts.

A maze? Where?

That's a little difficult to describe.

...Try.

The entrance was in Liminal Space, but it vanished behind me. And it exited right here, but I can't seem to find the exit anymore either. It seemed as if I was there for two or three days, but it seems to have been six months.

... There were windmills and ferris wheels?

[Missed connection with the ferris wheel; he'd napped on one, sure, but fuck if he remembers what it was called. False memories aren't the most reliable, apparently.]

So it was connected to this place, somehow... Was anyone with you?

No, not really.

What's that mean?

[If he sounds a little impatient, it's because he is. That could be where Eren'd ended up, if he didn't return to their world. And that matters. Stupid brat's probably causing all kinds of trouble, regardless...

~~There's concern in there somewhere, make no mistake.~~]

I'm reasonably sure they were all inside my head.

[...Huh.]

Hallucinations?

It's possible.

Tch... [F r o w n. He's not too thrilled about the prospect of hallucinations on top of all of the other things he's experienced since being taken.] How did you find your way out? Dumb luck?

I don't think so. It's more likely the exit didn't exist until the Trumps were ready to let me return.

That sounds like them. [And people call him a control freak.] ...There are less of us now than there were when I was taken.

[It's possible he's only noticed because the missing include at least three people he'd spoken to and a possible fourth, now that he thinks about it; he's been paying closer attention to that since Eren's disappearance. Arrivals, too- he's made a note of them, scratched into the side of his gear along with cuts marking the passage of time as he experiences it.]

I was wondering. I remember there being more of us, too.

At least one of them is dead. I don't know what happened to the others.

Who died?

He was taller than I am- [don't even...] -with dark wavy hair. Arrogant. [And because Levi has no problem speaking ill of the 'dead':] And a pig.

[The Nile Dawk of the Travelers, basically. The grudge lives on even though Robb (allegedly) does not.]

I never got his name.

I see.

When I was here before, dead Travelers always came back.

[GUESS WHO NEVER GOT THAT (VERY IMPORTANT) MEMO...?]

That's impossible.

If that's true, you're talking to a corpse right now.

What?

[No, really, you gotta help him out here. Because where he's from (where most... people are from?) death is very much a permanent situation.]

If I'm counting correctly, I died four times in Moebius and once in the Spark.

You're full of shit.

[He's having a hard time reconciling this with, well, everything he's ever known. People die, and then they're gone. They don't come back.

That's not how it works. It can't be.]
