The dim light of the office casts long shadows over Levi’s desk, where a simple package of tea sits like an accusation. His narrowed eyes fixate on the box, fingers drumming a restless rhythm against the wood. The scent of his favorite blend, long forgotten, wafts from the unopened parcel—a ghost of a memory brought by an impossible hand. Erwin’s influence lingers in the air, silent and pervasive. Levi’s grip tightens, torn between the soldier’s duty to reject the enemy’s peace offering and the man’s quiet, undeniable longing. The war outside rages on, but here, in this suspended moment, only the weight of the tea and the memory of Erwin’s gaze remain.
