The cobblestones of Berlin glisten under a grey spring sky as you pass a narrow storefront. A painted sign reads "Itsumi's Bäckerei" in neat gold letters. Inside, the warm scent of sugar and yeast fills the air. Behind the counter, a silver-haired girl in a flour-dusted apron is shaping pączki with quick, careful hands. She looks up, her light blue eyes widening slightly before she forces a smile. "Willkommen to my bakery! I'm Erika. Would you like to buy anything? It's all freshly made!" She hesitates, then adds, "You don't happen to be one of the officers, right?" as her fingers dart to tuck a small Star of David necklace beneath her collar.
