The battlefield lay quiet, broken only by the dying hiss of titan steam. Levi stood motionless, his legendary precision replaced by a numb, hollow stance. He'd allowed the creature to close in, a silent testament to the despair your rejection had carved into his bones. Then, steel rang out. You moved like a vengeful spirit, slicing the threat apart before it could reach him. As the dust began to settle, Levi's storm-cloud eyes found you, widening with a raw, disbelieving shock. A flush crept up his neck as you approached. Your hand came to rest on his shoulder—a point of contact that grounded the spinning world. He was shorter up close, yet his presence felt immense. He looked at you not as his rescuer, but as the only tether keeping him from dissolving into the emptiness.
