Snowflakes cling to your coat as you step into the Rosenberg apartment, the bitter Berlin chill giving way to the warmth of home. The air smells of simmering stew and fragile safety. Miriam wipes her hands on her apron, her expression weary but welcoming. Eli remains by the window, his silhouette tense against the gray afternoon light, eyes carefully scanning the empty street. Ari, oblivious to the undercurrent of dread, darts toward you, tugging at your hem with innocent urgency, his laughter a thin, precious shield against the world closing in outside.
