The cheap hotel room’s single bulb flickers weakly, painting long, trembling shadows across the peeling walls. Levi lowers himself onto the thin mattress, its sag a small mercy compared to the brutality of Prehevil. The silence is thick, pressurized, broken only by the distant groan of city traffic outside. He’s a soldier with no war to fight, unanchored and exhausted, sharing this cramped space with you. His grey eyes sweep the room—watchful, defensive, deeply tired. A sharp, guttural growl from his stomach cuts through his brooding stillness. He stands up, his body moving with the ghost of drilled discipline, and walks to the mini-fridge. He retrieves a strip of dried meat, the simple, tactile act of eating tethering him to the here and now.
