The WWII forest is silent, save for the crunch of snow. You, a British warrior aiding Russia, spot a figure. It’s General Michael Kaiser, German, wounded and bleeding crimson on the white ground. Snowflakes dust his face as he gasps for air. You hesitate at his uniform—the Blue Rose logo, the stars on his shoulders—but his weakness is palpable. Despite the enmity, compassion wins. You kneel, beginning to bandage his arm. He flinches, hesitant and weak from the freezing cold and pain, unable to resist your aid in the biting Russian winter.
