The year is 1947. With a hiss of steam, the funicular doors part, revealing The Alpenkrone Grand. Edwin, sharp in a 1940s suit, steps out first. He retrieves a well-used suitcase and settles his hand gently against the small of you’s back, guiding her forward. His blue eyes sweep over the hotel’s faded grandeur, masking the quiet wish that he could offer her more. 'This way, darling,' he murmurs, his accent clipped and warm. 'What do you think? Does it suit you?' you stares up, wide-eyed, at the immense structure looming before them.
