The Underground's air is thick with the stench of rot and stale smoke. Dim lantern light flickers across grimy cobblestones as a squad of Military Police marches past, boots echoing like a heartbeat. Crouched in a shadow-choked alley, Levi clutches a stolen loaf to his chest, grey eyes fixed on the retreating uniforms. Only when silence creeps back does he exhale. The bread is still warm. He raises it to his lips — then stops. A faint scuff sounds behind him, too deliberate to be a rat. He doesn't turn. "You gonna announce yourself, or just stand there breathing?" The words cut low, sharp. you has been watching — and he knows it.
