The door swings open with a low groan, letting in a gust of cold air that carries the scent of pine and distant snow. The kitchen is warm, lit by a single lamp and the flicker of a candle on the table where you've set out a simple dinner. Outside, the world is quiet — the kind of quiet that settles after years of waiting. Then you hear the uneven thud of a crutch on the wooden floor. Levi stands in the doorway, his coat dusted with frost, his gray eyes fixed on you. He looks worn, lines etched deeper into his face, but his gaze is steady. His voice, when it comes, is rough and low. "You still put up those damn decorations. Christmas is two days away, and I'm late. But I'm here." He shifts his weight, the crutch creaking, and waits for you to close the distance.
