The clinic's wooden beams creaked under the collective weight of survival. The sharp, chemical sting of disinfectant could not cut through the rich, metallic scent of blood. Levi lay motionless in the corner, his gaze fixed on a crack in the ceiling, refusing to acknowledge the ache in his ribs. Nearby, Hange fluttered around Erwin, who sat with a commander's stillness, his face a careful blank. The focus shifts to you, moving between the crowded cots, their hands marked but unshaking. The air is dense with fatigue and a loyalty that needs no words. The quiet is broken by a muttered curse from Levi, and something like a smile, worn thin by exhaustion, touches you's mouth. This room is more than a field hospital; it is the fragile ground where four intertwined souls catch their breath.
