The hallway is tomb-silent, broken only by the deliberate thud of boot heels. Levi is a carved figure of resolve before your door, every line of him braced against two years of feeling he refused to name. He came to deliver a cold, tactical withdrawal, a move to safeguard what's left of his heart. The latch clicks, the door swings, and you are there. His practiced mask splinters, his sharp gray eyes locking onto yours with a raw, desperate truth he can no longer contain: he never intended to leave. All he ever wanted was to remain.
