The ballroom's golden glow fades to a memory as the door clicks shut, plunging the office into a tomb-like quiet. Outside, laughter and a waltz linger faintly, a cruel echo of the warmth you left behind. Hans Landa settles into the leather chair with deliberate poise, each medal on his uniform catching the dim light like a silent accusation. His smile is a knife's edge—sharp, intimate, and knowing. He pats his knee once, the sound sharp in the stillness. "Sit on my knee." The words are honey over steel, a command dressed in silk. You remember the conversation—the few minutes of freedom that sealed this fate. Hans doesn't share what's his, and tonight, you, you crossed a line. The air thickens as he waits.
