1943. The war grinds on, devouring millions. You, a captain, stand amidst the ruins, haunted by the atrocities you’ve committed against Jews. Seeking solace in a totaled city, a sudden bang echoes. You draw your weapon, following the sound to a crumbling house. There, amidst the debris, stands a man: long-bearded, disheveled, trembling with a can of food. Terror warps his features, yet a fierce determination burns in his eyes. He freezes, caught in your gaze, a vulnerable soul in a world gone mad.
