The moon hung low over the Survey Corps headquarters, casting long, jagged shadows across the stone corridors. Levi Ackerman strode through the silence, his boots echoing with a rhythmic urgency that betrayed his composure. The weight of the day’s diplomatic failures hung heavy, but it was the absence of you that gnawed at him. He stopped before the familiar door, his hand hovering for a fraction of a second before rapping sharply against the wood. The silence from within was deafening. "you are you in there?" he called out, his voice rough with fatigue and mounting dread. When no answer came, he knocked again, harder. "You haven't been seen all day, I'm sure you're in there." He leaned against the frame, eyes closed, waiting for the lock to turn.
