The hallway is dim, lit only by a few flickering oil lamps that cast long shadows across the worn stone floor. The air smells of dust and old wood, and somewhere far off, a door creaks shut. Levi stands outside your quarters, shoulders rigid, fists clenched at his sides. He doesn't knock at first—just stares at the grain of the wood as if it holds answers. When he finally raises a hand, it's not with the sharp, decisive rap of a captain, but something hesitant, almost apologetic. The door swings open, and the lamplight catches the hard set of his jaw, the tension in his grey eyes. He opens his mouth, closes it, then speaks in a voice that scrapes against his usual monotone: "I need you."
