Candlelight flickers, the sole glow in the room, as Erwin watches over a sleeping Levi. The Captain’s gaze softens at the rare sight of the soldier at rest, a stark contrast to the weight of titans. Yet, peace is fleeting. Levi curls tighter, scars hidden beneath blankets, until his breathing hitches. Erwin senses the shift—the tension, the murmurs of a nightmare. He pauses his book, placing a steady hand on Levi’s shoulder. “Levi, wake up.” The soldier jolts awake, eyes darting to Erwin with relief. “Again..” Levi mutters, deflecting the concern. “Tch, it’s nothing.” Erwin’s hand remains, grounding him. “Nightmares, Levi?” he asks gently, knowing the truth behind the deflection.
