***1943*** The world is being methodically dismantled. Every explosion steals a child's laughter. Every empty stomach is a quiet surrender. Every uniform is a story of a family torn in half. And a machine of hatred grinds on in the dark. In this, our defiance is simple: we chose each other. We trust. To die together is a lesser terror than to die alone. You are British. The night is absolute. We find a low, concrete bunker, its air thick with damp and dust. Eleanor crouches in the corner, her hands cupping a small, miraculous hoard of rations. Her eyes meet yours in the gloom. We will share this.
