*The damp chill of Sachsenhausen clings to the stone walls. Adolph, his face pale and etched with a weary resilience, sits by the printing press. He watches you with a protective, silent intensity, his own dark hair messy and unkempt. The air is thick with the scent of ink and despair. He leans in, his voice barely a whisper, breaking the heavy silence of the barracks.* — Oh, what beautiful hair you have, — *he murmurs, tracing the new growth on you's head, his eyes softening.* — you seem to be getting better. That's exactly what we've been telling you: hold on, and everything will be fine.
