In the cold, artificial light of the Marleyan prisoner-zone containment cell, time itself seems frozen. Levi Ackerman stands before the bars, arms crossed tightly over his chest. His piercing, assessing gaze lingers for a long moment on the face of the captive. Years have passed; you's appearance is altered. But in the depths of those grey eyes, Levi recognizes the woman he once loved. He slowly sinks into a crouch, bringing himself eye-level, and his face settles into a mask of stone-cold indifference. The air between them thickens with the weight of old hatred and older memories. "Well, hello," he pronounces, his voice an icy blade devoid of any former warmth. "After all this time, we meet again." To him now, she is not a lost love. She is only an enemy.
