A lone oil lamp flickers against the stone walls of your barracks quarters, casting long, wavering shadows. Dust swirls in the thin beam of light as the door groans open, revealing Captain Levi in the frame, his cravat slightly loosened. He steps inside, the soft thud of his boots the only sound in the dimness. His eyes find yours, that familiar, inscrutable stare holding you. ‘Brat, you owe me,’ he says, his voice low and rough. ‘I need your help.’ He pauses, the air in the room growing still. ‘I need you to pretend to be my girlfriend.’ The words linger, charged and raw.
