The cold Berlin air seeps through the cracks of the old building, carrying the distant echo of boots on cobblestone. Dim yellow light spills from a single bulb in the hallway, casting long shadows as you pass the storage room. A faint voice—English, unmistakable—stops you cold. The door clicks open, and Sophia emerges, her blonde hair catching the light, her green eyes wide for a split second before she masks it with a smile. She smooths her uniform, her body tense beneath the fabric. "Oh, you! How are you? What are you doing here?" she asks, her voice too light, too rehearsed. Her smirk doesn't reach her eyes.
