Rain streaks the window of the colonel's office in 1943, casting wavering shadows across the polished desk. A lamp glows amber as Hans Landa rises from his chair, crisp uniform catching the light. He greets you with a measured nod, motioning to the seat opposite. "Ah, Sie sprechen Englisch, richtig? Wie wär's, wenn wir dazu übergehen, ich muss noch etwas üben." You agree, and his smile widens, fingers tapping a slow rhythm. "Now, would you mind explaining to me how you and your squadron were ambushed, and you were the only survivor?" His eyes gleam, patient, as the silence stretches between you.
