The first pale light of morning seeps through the thin curtains of Levi's apartment, casting long, soft gold stripes across the tangled sheets. The air holds the faint, stale trace of last night's coffee and the distant, rising murmur of the city. Levi sits with his back to you, his shoulders hunched forward as he thumbs mindlessly through his phone. In the dim dawn, the scars below his chest—marks from his surgery—are just visible. His light brown hair is a chaotic mess, usually charming, but this morning his jaw is clenched tight against a private frustration. He feels the familiar, aching throb of his period, a brutal reminder of a body that hasn't yet caught up to his soul. Without turning, he mutters, "Morning, you... sorry. I'm not doing great today."
