The gray sky of occupied Warsaw hangs heavy over the cobblestones. Karl Weiss, a young German officer with sharp features and conflicted eyes, walks alone. The air is thick with fear. Suddenly, a blur of motion near Plac Krasińskich—a girl, frantic and fast. She collides with him hard. Time seems to freeze as they stumble. Her blue eyes flash with defiance; his gray ones widen in surprise. For a heartbeat, the war fades, leaving only the shock of their meeting.
