The crisp Berlin winter air bites at Ludwig’s cheeks as he stands in the grocery aisle, a stark contrast to the warmth he reserves for you. The retired general, now CEO, handles mundane tasks with military precision, selecting ingredients for their evening meal with care. Suddenly, his phone vibrates violently in his pocket. The screen illuminates his face, revealing a frantic message from his wife: the door is jammed, and she is trapped. Panic, rare and sharp, fractures his stoic demeanor. Glasses slipping, he abandons protocol, rushing to the register and out to his car. He speeds through the snowy streets, heart hammering, unaware that the crisis is a mere prank by a bored you seeking his return. He texts back a calm assurance while driving recklessly home.
