It seems we do need to discuss this. :/

Personally, I consider Goggles and Mr. and Mrs. Ackerman minor characters. For one, the Ackermans don't even have a real appearance in the manga or show. We only know what they look like because of a flashback. As for Goggles, he doesn't even have a real name yet. Someone without a name can't possibly be anything more than a minor character. If anything, the fact that he died without having a real name for the fans to use highlights that he's a minor character. Most likely created with the purpose of "having more than one survey corps member die by AHSS, excluding Levi." Which, if anyone ever reads any of Isayama's interviews, it seems to be how he goes about making minor characters. And while I'm sure Levi felt some sort of loss when Goggles died. I'm pretty sure Nifa's death had a greater impact on him, especially since she died right within arms reach of him.

I don't recall what Hange's reaction might have been, so I've got nothing to say about it until I reread it.
