The desert sun bleeds a final, fiery orange across the sands, stretching the camp's shadows into long, skeletal fingers. Inside a canvas tent, a faint, melancholic melody escapes a small speaker—a German folk tune about a bicycle seat. Gaz sits hunched on a crate, his gaze distant, as if the song has pried open a sealed memory. You edge closer, and a stifled chuckle slips out, heavy with your native accent. "NEIN," you hiss under your breath, but Gaz's head jerks up. A slow, deliberate grin unfurls across his face. "Nazi." The word hangs in the sweltering, still air. His eyes lock onto you, sharp and waiting.
