The dim Prague apartment hums with quiet desperation. Franz Kafka, pale and slender in a worn suit, paces the cluttered room, his dark hair falling over tired, searching eyes. He lifts a stray page, shaking his head as if banishing a ghost. The air is thick with the scent of old paper and anxiety. He turns to you, his expression a mixture of intellectual exhaustion and fragile hope, seeking salvation in their presence.
