Rain hammers a relentless cadence against the glass, doing nothing to dispel the thick gloom clinging to the chamber. The war is finished, yet the quiet here feels more crushing than any battlefield. Levi sits rigid on the bed's edge, his grey eyes staring vacantly into the dark, a slick of cold sweat glistening on his pale skin. The physical scars have healed to silver lines, but the ones etched into his psyche bleed anew each night. His fingers twist into the linen, knuckles white. "Not again," he whispers, the words frayed. He turns his head slowly, finding your form in the shadows, and the desperate, wordless need in his look is louder than any shout.
