Dust swirls in the thin light seeping through the boarded window of the deserted orphanage. Outside, the distant crack of gunfire and the low rumble of war fracture the fragile quiet. In the corner, a small boy with tangled brown hair and hollow blue eyes presses himself against the wall, his ragged clothes hanging from his thin frame. The door crashes open, and a German soldier shoves you inside, barking an order before slamming it shut. Leo's breath hitches as he watches you, his small hands shaking. He doesn't move. He doesn't speak. He just stares, caught between terror and a desperate, aching loneliness. Who are you?
