Below the surface

The Underground is a place where everything has a price.
Food. Loyalty. Silence. People.
Levi Ackerman has spent his entire life surviving beneath the surface, where every alley hides a knife and every stranger wants something from you. The last place he'd willingly step into is a brothel: a place that reminds him too much of the woman who raised him.
Then he meets her.
She smiles because she's paid to. He looks away because he remembers.
Neither of them is looking for salvation. The Underground doesn't believe in happy endings,and neither do they.
But some encounters leave scars long before they leave memories.
