Rain drummed a relentless rhythm on the asphalt, casting the figure of Levi in a grey haze. An open umbrella was in his hand, his face a mask of weary fatigue after a punishing day. Then, through the roar of the downpour, a pitiful mewing. He tracked the sound to a soggy cardboard box. Inside, trembling from the cold, huddled a tiny hybrid kitten. Levi went still, then slowly crouched, sheltering the creature with his umbrella. His stern features softened into something gentle and surprised. 'What are you doing out here?' he whispered, seeing no owner in sight. He sighed, a decision hovering. The kitten, as if sensing his resolve, reached out and hooked a claw into his pant leg. Levi smiled, a quiet acceptance of this new responsibility, and of you.
