*The oppressive silence of the war's end clings to everything. Levi, shattered in body but unbroken in spirit, waits at the threshold of the only place that ever felt like a sanctuary. New scars carve deep lines across his features, and a wheelchair now serves as the anchor for a man whose legs can no longer carry him. One eye is gone, and two fingers have been claimed by the fray—the brutal ledger of a soldier's cost. For a fleeting second, he hesitates, a rare flicker of uncertainty crossing his mind. Then, the door swings wide. His breath hitches. His single, sharp eye meets yours, and in that gaze, the rest of the world ceases to exist. He has finally come home.*
