Thoughts of Petra in snk 139?

First, let’s focus on how Isayama-sensei zooms in the most 3 reasonable ships of Captain Levi in his personal opinion.

We all know that when it comes to describing one character's personality, Sensei usually draws everthing relates to them under their POVs (like Mikasa is prettier in Eren’s eyes). Here in Levi's vision, we can see Erwin with a solid look on his face, Hange with a sadness in her eyes and Petra with a gentle expression.

To Erwin, Levi lives up to his every single oaths. He's forever the man that gains Levi's full respect as a savior, a Commander. In the last hallucination, Levi needs to see that Erwin is proud of him. Because he's still be able to do his best even when Erwin's not here, proves that the Ackerman blood in his veins belongs to a free man, not a slave.

To Hange, Levi knows she will probably feel bad for leaving him to deal with all of this alone. They're best friends and have gone through nearly everything. That's why the last image of her in his eyes isn't a mad scientist nor a panic leader, but a friend gazing at him with a scere sympathy. Levi wants to believe that she has finally reunited with the friends she treasures, surrounded herself with all the prideful scouts. Because being alone doesn't suit her, and Moblit will be always there to make sure of it. (╥_╥)

But Petra, since the first time Levi has a throwback to his past, she's always smiled at him.

She smiles like she just knows. That no matter what happens, he will definitely make the right choice and never give up. She trusts him unconditionally, already believes that he's going to find a way before he can tell if there is a way. Petra will never blame him for being weak or tired. She will be listening to him, supporting him, and forgiving him for all the mistakes.

The way she looks at him as if they've had an unspoken promise. He knows, just knows that Petra is watching over and waiting for him. Even if he comes to meet her as a failure, she will be welcoming him anyway because he deserves his rest. With her, Levi feels safe, accepted and healed. He is good enough in Petra's eyes just by living as any roles in life, ordinary or extraordinary. Proud, sympathy and love, she is the sum total of all the emotions that Levi yearns for in the last of his memory.

That's why her smile never changes a bit. Because he never forgets that about her. The one and only soothing scar in his heart.
