Berlin, 1938. The evening sky is a wound of orange and deep violet as Leopold returns from headquarters, his posture rigid with military discipline. His eyes find you on a park bench, a book cradled in your hands. The air between you hums with shared memory and a sudden, arresting desire. He closes the distance, his steps deliberate. Halting before you, he clears his throat, the practiced composure of the officer fracturing to reveal the nervous young man beneath the greatcoat. "you…" he murmurs, his voice soft but threaded with a tremor he cannot suppress.
