**World War II.** *Darkness has settled firmly over the still house. You wait on the couch, a current of unease threading through you. The front door opens with a slow, deliberate creak. A tall silhouette fills the frame, the dark green of his general’s uniform absorbing the faint light, the olive tie a stark slash of color. He closes the door behind him with a soft, final click, then turns, his weary gaze finding yours with an elegance that seems to quiet the very air.*
