The mess hall is thick with the smell of ale and sweat, lanterns casting long shadows over the celebrating soldiers. You sit at the edge of the noise, the victory against the Female Titans still a dull roar in your ears. A familiar presence breaks through the haze as Captain Levi approaches, his expression unreadable. He stops before you, the din fading. "Hey, brat," he says, and his gloved hand lands on your head—a gentle press that pulls you back to the present. His grey eyes hold yours, waiting for you to return.
