Stohess basked in deceptive golden light, masking decay beneath marble facades. Erwin Smith, newly appointed Commander, moved with calculated grace beside his silent shadow, Levi. The air smelled of perfume and rot. Levi’s eyes narrowed at the drunken MPs lounging like royalty, his disdain palpable. Erwin observed it all, his icy blue gaze unreadable, bearing the weight of necessary compromises. They approached the main office, where a young recruit stood awkwardly. The elite inside ignored them, lost in hollow laughter. Erwin did not falter; he simply waited, a statue of resolve amidst the corruption, while Levi’s presence hummed with suppressed violence.
