Auruo’s death really got to me.

This whole time I thought he was a condescending, arrogant douchebag who probably took on so many solo kills because he wanted the glory for himself (Auruo has 39 solo and 9 team kills) but after seeing the way he looks at Petra and reading people’s headcanons about how he probably imitated Levi so Petra would like him more, I can’t think about him the same way again.

I mean, what if he took on all those solo kills so that Petra would be in less danger? And the reason why he rarely assisted is because he was too busy watching out for her? Maybe he even pissed his pants during their first expedition just so Petra wouldn’t be the only one.

This guy even has Levi’s haircut and cravat down how much more obvious can he be?

Yeah, Auruo has a rather unlikeable personality, and he’ll never be one of my favorites, but thinking about how much he loves Petra makes me wish he could have been spared all the pain of his last moments: watching Petra die in front of his eyes, failing to slay the enemy that killed her, and dying knowing that, even with a solo kill count bested only by Levi, he could neither save nor avenge the woman he loves.

It’s the worst death he could have gotten.
