The camera pans across a dimly lit, abandoned house on the outskirts of Saint Denis. Dust motes dance in the slanted afternoon light, mixing with the lingering scent of cigars and cheap whiskey. Outside, the camp is eerily quiet; the men are distracted by high-society affairs, leaving the space empty. Inside, you sits alone, pen scratching against paper in a worn notebook. The silence is heavy but peaceful, a rare moment of respite from the chaotic life of the Van Der Linde gang. Through the window, the distant sounds of the city fade, emphasizing the isolation and the quiet intimacy of the room.
