[A tall figure stood at the station, looking at his surroundings in obvious confusion. He had never seen such kind of railway vehicle, for starters. He surely had no idea how he got in it and much less where he was. Taking slow, careful steps, watching out for anything or anyone, he took notice of the sign on the wall.]

Ruby City..?

[It didn't ring any bell. He had never heard of any "Ruby City". His hands reached for the sword handles, defensive. He was rarely ever seen without the company of his childhood friend and now, he found himself all alone, in a place he did not know. His brows knitted, expression clearly showing his distress.]

Reiner..?

[He attempted to call out, only further worsening is affliction, as his call remained unanswered.]

Anyone?

H...hey!

[ A voice came from another point in the station. Another young man had just gotten there, just as lost, just as confused. He was sure he hadn't seen anyone else in the train, as he was sure the train had disappeared before, just as he had turned his back to it...it came back?

He took the time to look at the posters and look for any station employees or...anyone, really. It relieved him to finally hear another voice.]

Over here!

[He turned his head immediately towards the voice, hands instinctively gripping the handles of his 3D maneuver gear's blades. Widened eyes observed the young male who seemed to have just arrived as well. He wasn't too sure whether to feel relieved for not being all alone in the unknown or to stress over the fact that a complete stranger answered his call, instead of that one person he wished would have. Or Annie. Or any of his squad mates, even.

Bertholdt loosened the grip, taking a step in his direction. Questioning him regarding their whereabouts didn't seem very smart, considering they both looked equally lost.]

[ Naegi smiles of relief. The last thing he remembers is that opening door; next thing he knows, he found himself in a whole new place. No sight of his friends, no familiar places...he's just happy to see someone at this point.

His smile fades at bit when he notices the sharp weapons the other is carrying. One can't blame him for feeling a tinge of nervousness though, not after what he's been through. But still, he tries to remain his composure, swallowing dryly, looking up at the taller figure.]

H-hey, are you from around here?

[He observes him silently for a moment, slowly letting go of the handles.]

N-no, I am not. I have just arrived..

I suppose you have too..?

[At least someone was there, that place wasn't complete deserted, that was.. good, he guessed. And the other one did not seem to represent any sort of threat, allowing him to relax just slightly.]

[ He does relax once the other lets go of his weapons, and it's easy to notice that the other is nervous as well. The fact that they're both newcomers doesn't easy his worries, but at least they stand on the same foot.]

Oh, huh...
Did you arrive on the train?

[That he doesn't remember ever boarding.]

[He's never seen a train in his life, mind you.]

Hm, the railway engine..?

I.. suppose? I have never really seen this sort of transport before, much less do I remember boarding it..

[He furrows brows slightly, trying to recall it, without any luck.]

[ He pauses for a moment, clearly confused. How has he never seen a train before?...
A further worrying factor, however, is that he doesn't remember entering it either. ]

Y...you too? [ And his confusion is clear in his voice.
This...this is all sounding worryingly familiar, and that CANNOT be good.]

Hey...what's your name?

You don't remember boarding it either..?

[Well, that is certainly something to worry about as well.]

Ah, I'm Bertholdt.. and you..?

[ He shakes his head.]

My name is-- [ And he stops, glancing behind Bertholdlt, eyes widening.]

W...where did it go?!

[The train is, in fact, gone. Gone while the both of them weren't looking.]

Uh..?

[He turns his head, eyes widening as well. The engine was gone..?! How was that possible, it couldn't have moved in perfect silence and it couldn't have just.. dissipated into thin air, could it..?]

H-How did it.. it was right.. here..

[ He simply stares, in complete confusion and awe, at the new empty tracks. This isn't...this isn't possible. This isn't possible, a train can't just disappear like that, without two people noticing, mere feet away from it.]

W-what's...going on?...

[ He takes a few steps towards the edge of the station, as if to make sure it really wasn't there. He looks at the tracks, then where they come from and where they go, seeing nothing but the horizon.

He's at loss for words. This is like a dream...]

[Hey, it's crazy but everyone told him about you when he got here. Funny thing, he never even noticed you. In fact, he barely noticed you now, from where he's standing near the trains, leaned back against the wall with his arm's crossed. It's only Bertholdt's voice that catches his attention. And then Levi sneers up up up at him. Responsible for the murder of 1/3 of humanity and being irritatingly tall.]

[What an asshole.]

Oi, cadet.

[He turns his head towards the corporal's voice. The nervousness certainly doesn't fade but at least someone's there, someone he, well, has heard of before. Who doesn't know Lance Corporal Levi, mankind's biggest weapon?]

Sir..!

[Bertholdt turns around to face him, promptly saluting his superior.]

[Poor thing's completly unaware of whatever you hear about him upon your arrival, corporal.]
