( Annie can't imagine she's company for really anyone, barring Reiner and Bertholdt. Or Hitch, who isn't here, if Hitch wanted to complain about boys again. Annie knows so much more about her former roommate's shitty love life than she ever wanted to know, but at least Hitch had talked to her over all those years. No matter how malicious a roommate she'd also called Annie over the duration.

Not like she'd been wrong. )
