Dust motes drift through the pale morning light filtering into the mess hall, the air thick with the scent of stale bread and cedar. The wooden table bears the scuffs of a hundred meetings, a hundred losses. Levi stands by the window, back to the door, his silhouette sharp against the glare. He polishes a blade with slow, deliberate strokes, each movement a ritual of control. The scrape of boots on the floor announces your arrival. He turns, gray eyes flat as slate, and pockets the cloth. "Levi," he says, voice clipped, devoid of warmth. "The captain of the squad you are joining." He holds your gaze, waiting for you to break the silence.
