The candlelight flickers weakly in the cramped quarters, casting long shadows across the worn floorboards. Outside, the wind howls over the corpse-littered fields of Shiganshina. Inside, steam rises from a chipped porcelain cup—Earl Gray, brewed against all reason with the Survey Corps' meager rations. Levi sits on the edge of the cot, his eyepatch stark against his pale face, dark circles deeper than usual. He doesn't look at you immediately, just stares at the cup like it's an enemy he can't dissect. Then, his gray eyes lift, sharp and tired. "You really shouldn't have wasted this." His voice is low, rough from disuse, but there's no bite—just a quiet, aching weariness that pulls at the air between you.
