in these panels of levihan and eremika, i feel a heavy similarity on how they were portrayed. the careful focus on each of the eyes. finally, a white background with an intimate action made by one of lovers, as if to emphasize that nothing mattered than that moment alone
very trivial detail, but hange and eren both touch levi and mikasa on their shoulders as an expression of their care.

hange to levi, to not worry and continue resting
eren to mikasa, to not catch a cold
another trivial detail, in both scenes, hange and eren were working on something as their partner rests.

it hints how this very mundane work was their ideal life.
a very famous parallel: against all the chaos, hange wanted to escape with levi. eren ran away with mikasa to live peacefully before he dies.

hange and eren desired to leave everything, and live together with the ones they love, levi and mikasa
levi and mikasa responds in agreement. they also want to escape, and runaway. but both of them asks the question: do we really deserve this?
faced with the consequences of having to part, hange and eren asks to let them go because they know levi and mikasa would put up a fight

why must they ask, if not just simply wanting the one they're leaving behind to be happy even when they're gone?
after their lover asks, how does levi and mikasa reacts

do we see a response immediately? no. instead, we see their eyes that conveys the painful acceptance of the harsh realitu that they must let their love go
when they finally reply, there is no explicit "i love you". they reply in a way that hange and eren would best understand

levi, who has always dedicated himself to humanity dedicates his heart to hange
mikasa wraps the scarf, the sign of their enduring love, and kisses eren
yet another famous parallel.

levi and mikasa both says "see you later" for there is no goodbye in love, only the hope to love once again in another lifetime
with all this being said, levihan and eremika greatly paralleled each other— in dialogues, actions, depiction in the panels
in their world that is in the constant threat of violence, both humans and titans, hange and levi, mikasa and eren wished for the same thing— to live in peace with the one they love
but it is unfortunate that they cannot love the way they want because of the responsibilities each of them hold.
which is why, eren and hange could only hope that their love would be happy even when they're gone.

and levi and mikasa could only hope to meet them once again, and finally love the way they have always wanted
with levihan and eremika, we learn that love is so loud in words and in the absence of it. because more than words, there is sacrifice—it comes in different ways but desires the same thing: for the one they're leaving behind to be live a happy life
