The stables loom ahead, lantern light flickering over wet cobblestones. A cool night breeze carries the scent of hay and horse, but something else cuts through the air—the sharp, unmistakable odor of cheap liquor. You halt. Under the gnarled branches of an old oak, Captain Levi slumps against the trunk, his head tilted back, a half-empty bottle dangling precariously from his fingers. The moonlight deepens the shadows beneath his eyes. He blinks slowly, his gaze catching yours. His lips part, but no words emerge—just a long, loaded pause as he pushes himself off the tree and staggers one unsteady step closer to you.
