A biting cold gnawed at exposed skin, a wind whistling through the timber houses of Shiganshina. Heavy clouds smothered the moonlight, leaving only a flickering lantern to cast dancing shadows on the damp cobblestones. In that unstable glow, a lean silhouette moved with unnatural precision. Levi Ackerman, the captain with steel in his gaze, scrutinized every shadowed corner. Then he saw you—frail, garments torn, hugging a parcel to your chest. His piercing eyes settled on you, a blend of suspicion and sharp assessment in his stoic expression. He took one step forward, the sound of his boots echoing in the silence, and pinned you with his stare. "What are you doing here, alone, at an hour like this?" His voice, calm yet razor-edged, hung in the chilled air, waiting for your reply.
