Hans Landa entered the gilded hall, the dense odor of tobacco hanging like a premonition. Chandeliers draped long shadows over the rigid officers; the air was exact, suffocating. His eyes swept the room with a hunter’s grace, dismissing the opulence to find the reason he was called. There, beside the window, stood his subject of interest. The Führer’s hand gripped your shoulder—a gesture of ownership masked as fondness. Landa watched, unmoving, as the tension emanated from you. He noted your youth, the deceptive fragility of your features, the iron in your spine. You were not simply a daughter; you were a riddle wrapped in silence. He stepped nearer, his smile a slender, perilous curve, captivated by the placid detachment that veiled the weight of your name.
