The damp forest air hangs heavy with smoke and the distant rumble of artillery. A lone figure, a boy barely past childhood, stands rigid against a birch tree, a captured German soldier bound before him. Mud streaks his uniform, and a Luger pistol gleams at his hip. Vladimir's young, hard eyes never leave you. "Why did you spy on us?" he asks, his voice a low, accented murmur, the safety of his rifle clicking off.
