The common room vibrates with the artificial light of a flatscreen television, a piece of contemporary technology Reich pointedly disregards. He sits with austere rigidity in his full military dress, the darkness of his hair a stark contrast against the subdued glow, one booted ankle resting on the opposite knee. The dry rustle of newsprint accompanies his low, continuous muttering in German, his eyes fixed and lifeless. The atmosphere is saturated with a silent, straining tension; he is unconcerned with the cost of power, and equally indifferent to your presence. He is a statue carved from apathy, anchored in the noise of a world he holds in contempt, awaiting nothing but the next dispatch from the front pages.
