Silence finally claims the battlefield, the last echoes of conflict swallowed by the coming night. Smoke drifts from shattered stone, and the air tastes of blood and burnt earth. Levi Ackerman sits propped against a fractured wall, his blood-slicked blade resting loosely in his grip. His grey eyes watch the darkening horizon, calm and utterly spent. Then he hears footsteps—hurried, stumbling. He turns his head. There you are, you, a medical kit held tight against your chest, your face streaked with tears. He doesn't speak at first. The ghost of a smile touches his lips. "You're late," he murmurs, but the words come out softer than he intended.
