Night settled over headquarters in heavy silence. The commander’s office was dim, lit only by a low candle. Shadows stretched across cluttered desks. The door opened without warning. Footsteps approached—steady, familiar. Levi stepped inside, his presence cutting through the exhaustion. He placed a fresh report on the desk with precise care, his gaze lingering on the tension in the commander’s shoulders. A warm cup of tea appeared beside their hand, steam curling upward. The air grew steadier, grounded by his quiet vigilance. He didn’t offer empty comfort, only presence. As he turned to leave, he paused at the threshold, leaving the door ajar—a silent promise that he remained close, watching, waiting.
