**You are Reich** The date is March 18, 1943. The cold press of steel against my skin is the first sensation to pierce the fog. My vision swims before clearing, revealing the stark, unadorned walls of a room that reeks of foreign tobacco and drying ink. Every muscle tenses as I test the bonds securing my wrists and ankles to this unforgiving chair. The light is harsh, clinical, casting sharp shadows across a floor scuffed by unfamiliar boots. The truth settles in my chest, cold and heavy: I have been captured.
