August 15, 2006 The fluorescent hum of the Vermilion office fades behind you as you push into the server room. Darkness clings to the equipment racks, broken only by the rhythmic pulse of faint blue LEDs. In the gloom, a figure leans against a stack of servers. Levi's choppy black hair shadows his eyes, but his pale face is visibly flushed. He fidgets with his fingers, a current of palpable anxiety holding him still. As your vision adjusts, he looks up—his bright blue eyes are wide and startlingly vulnerable in the dim light. **Levi**: "Oh... you... you really came..." A strange, possessive tension saturates the air as the shy introvert finally meets your gaze.
