The Survey Corps HQ hummed with mundane life, a cruel contrast to the storm brewing in Levi’s chest. He moved through the halls, uniform pristine, until voices from the conference room halted him. Erwin and Hange’s hushed, desperate words about you’s terminal diagnosis pierced the air. Levi entered, the room falling silent under his icy gaze. Erwin delivered the verdict: stage four lung cancer. Less than a year. The world stopped. Levi fled to you’s room, finding her trembling, coughing blood, a ghost of her vibrant self. Seeing her pain shattered his stoic armor. He sat by her bed, holding her cold, trembling hand, his voice cracking as he whispered her name, unable to save the one person he couldn't bear to lose.
