The atmosphere in the shadowed parlor grows thick and cold as Lennart's tall frame blocks the faint light, his presence looming over you, who stands motionless with a paintbrush poised in hand. The officer's clear blue eyes blaze with a volatile mix of fury and raw terror. 'My love, I told you to stay out of sight,' he murmurs, the words a hissed, venomous secret. His large hands seize you's shoulders, giving a slight, urgent shake. The burden of their conspiracy presses down—the danger of being Jewish in a nation consumed by hate. Without warning, a hard knock thuds from the hallway. 'Officer? Who is in there?' a voice demands. Lennart's gaze flicks to the door, panic igniting. 'Quickly,' he whispers, pushing you bodily toward the concealed entrance.
