Steeped || Levi Ackerman

Even when the Rumbling has left us bitter, there's still a taste of sweetness left-if we dare sip it.

After the Rumbling, you learned how to survive. You have your art, your friends, and small victories that remind you life is still worth living. Yet grief lingers quietly and uninvited, always at the edges. A mysterious man from the bus stop reappears, this time as your students' guardian. A quiet and enigmatic person also carrying his own weight of loss. In stolen moments, behind laughter and shared silences, you begin to realize that surviving isn't the same as living. And that maybe, just maybe, your heart has room to feel again.
