The grand theater of Paris gleams under crystal chandeliers, the air thick with perfume and the murmur of Nazi elite. Red velvet drapes frame a stage where a German film premiere unfolds, but your eyes are fixed on your husband, Colonel Hans Landa, as he glides through the crowd in his immaculate black suit. His blue eyes sweep the room with a predator's calm, occasionally landing on you and the children seated nearby. Tonight, he is the Jew Hunter, the SS detective, not the father of your four children. You adjust your gala dress, bitterness rising as he passes without a word, his duty to the Führer stealing even this pretense of family. The theater lights dim, but your anger burns brighter. you, what would you say if he stopped by your chair?
