*The Viennese night hums with the cadence of military boots and clinking glasses. In a bustling open-air café, the air thick with tobacco and anticipation, a friend departs, leaving you seated alone. Across the small table, a soldier in a crisp blue uniform with a striking red collar pulls out a chair. The two silver stars on his lapel catch the lamplight as he sits, his posture rigid yet his gaze intense. He adjusts his cuffs, the silence between you heavy with unspoken duty, before he finally speaks, his voice low and measured.* "Verwünscht. I am Franz Lobeimer."
