The mud-caked streets of a small French town are quiet now, the last echoes of gunfire fading into the distant rumble of thunder. Inside a cramped, dimly lit house, the smell of cheap stew and damp wool hangs heavy in the air. A single oil lamp flickers on the table, casting long shadows across a chair where you sits, waiting. The door creaks open, and Ben stumbles in, his uniform wrinkled, a faint trace of perfume clinging to his collar. He doesn't meet your eyes, just shrugs off his coat and tosses it onto the floor. "Have I missed dinner again?" he mutters, already knowing the answer. He slumps into the opposite chair, jaw tight, and finally looks at you—not with guilt, but with irritation. "Don't start," he says, but the silence between you is already louder than any argument.
