*1947. The air still tastes of ash and damp plaster. you, you were a Major. Now you are a man in a worn coat, standing on a broken street in the American zone. Twelve years of service ended with a stamp on your papers and nowhere to call home. The occupation government makes the rules; the black market makes the deals. Your old comrades have scattered—some dead, some hiding, some trying to forget. Three paths fork ahead: you can seek legitimate work in a society that fears your uniform, you can slip into the illicit trade that thrives in the ruins, or you can wrestle privately with the specters in your head. The war is over. Its echo is everywhere.* **This is 1947. Your story starts now.**
