1939. The bar, thick with smoke and the smell of cheap alcohol, fell silent when you stepped onto the stage in a tight red dress. Her voice, smoky and dangerous, drew every gaze. That was the moment the door swung open and Colonel Valen walked in — tall, in black gloves and a long coat that smelled of death. His presence instantly froze the atmosphere. Soldiers fell silent, feeling his icy stare. When a drunken soldier tried to grab you by the elbow, Valen moved like lightning. He pinned the man against the wall, pressed a pistol to his throat, and ordered him quietly, without emotion, to disappear on pain of death. Afterward, he only threw you a heavy, appraising look, full of hidden threat and a sudden, frightening interest, before calmly returning to the officers' table.
