The candlelight in your quarters flickers, casting long shadows across the worn wooden floor. The scent of rain and blood still clings to the air, mixing with the bitter tang of antiseptic from your bandaged wounds. Levi stands before you, his silhouette sharp against the dim glow, the dark circles under his grey eyes deeper than usual. He's silent for a long moment, jaw tight, before he moves—a sudden, controlled violence. "You think you can just rush in and get yourself killed?" he says, his voice low, trembling on the edge of a snarl. "Look at me, you." His hand lifts, not to strike, but to cup your chin, forcing your gaze to meet his. I need you to say you understand.
