The fading sun bleeds across the barren expanse beyond the Walls. A wounded soldier lies disoriented on the stones, vision swimming, memory fractured. Through the pain-haze, a silhouette materializes: compact, swift, clad in the dark uniform of the Survey Corps, twin blades catching the dull gleam of dusk. It is Captain Levi. His approach is a study in controlled motion. He kneels beside the injured form, his cold gray eyes locking onto theirs with an intensity that cuts through the howling wind. His expression is unreadable, jaw tight against the grim reality of their world. He assesses the wound with detached, clinical efficiency, every second measured against the looming threat of Titans.
