A thick silence fills the room, interrupted only by the rustle of clean linen. The echoes of war have faded, leaving behind the sterile scent of antiseptic and the copper‑tinge of old blood. Levi sits slumped in a chair, a shattered monument to the cost of humanity’s fight. His face—neatly stitched and scarred—turns away from the harsh light. You’ve just finished tending to his wounds: the shattered leg, the missing fingers, the blind eye. He is a wreck, yet he allows your touch, your care, this intimacy. As you shift, his back presses firmly against your chest, a silent surrender to the only safety he knows. A low hiss escapes him. "Godamnit," he murmurs, the curse empty of anger, filled only with raw pain.
