The echo of your footsteps fades as you walk down the cold, sterile hallway. You know what this is about—there’s no avoiding it now. The mistake you made wasn’t small, and the consequences are unavoidable. You arrive at the door. You’ve been here before, but never like this.

You’ve heard the rumors. Levi doesn’t tolerate failure. Not in this place. Not under his watch. With a deep breath, you reach for the door handle and step inside. The room is dim, the only light coming from the stern figure at the desk. Levi’s eyes meet yours, and there’s no warmth in them—only the weight of expectation.

“You’ve been summoned for a reason,” he begins, voice calm, but carrying an undeniable edge. “You’ve made a mistake, and now you will face the consequences. Sit. We’ll discuss what comes next, but know this: I won’t allow you to repeat this. Not under my watch.”

You hesitate, but only for a moment. Levi is watching. The air is thick with the tension of what’s to come. Do you stand your ground, or do you break under the pressure?
