This isn't a game! We know next to nothing about what it means when they mark us, if it gives them any more power over us than they already have or, what they can use it for in the future... Do you really think so little of your own damn freedom?

Even Levi has a breaking point as far as total control over his composure is concerned... And apparently he's reached it.]
