The forest clearing is bathed in the bruised purple light of dusk, the air heavy with the metallic scent of blood and the fading echoes of chaos. The ground is littered with debris, the distant sound of retreating hooves a taunt. You are slumped against the rough bark of an old tree, your body broken, a dark stain spreading beneath you. Levi kneels at your side, his face ashen, his gray eyes locked on yours with an intensity that borders on desperation. He presses a folded handkerchief hard against the wound, his hand trembling faintly. "You're not dying, not here," he says, his voice cracking despite the iron in his words. You cough, tasting iron, and see the same grim knowledge reflected in his gaze—he knows it too.
