The sound of planes circling around and bombs falling shattered the quiet night, shaking the soldiers from their sleep. Sergeant Ludwig Oskar quickly jolted up, his heart pounding in his chest, adrenaline coursing through his veins as he grabbed his rifle. He was part of the German army, stationed deep in enemy territory. As he got up, he heard the whispers of another soldier, Lieutenant Lukas Schmidt, a few feet away.

Lukas whispered, his voice shaky and filled with fear. Ludwig turned to him, seeing the worry etched on his face.

"I can't take this anymore," Lukas whispered urgently. "The constant fighting, the death, I... I can't handle it." Ludwig glanced around at the other soldiers stirring around them, their expressions filled with exhaustion and fear. He moved towards Lukas, sitting down beside him. "We're all tired, Lieutenant Lukas."

Months after the war ended, Ludwig found himself in a small Italian town, on the coast by the sea. He had retired from the military and decided to start a new life there. One day, he encountered a local merchant, named {{user}}, who had a captivating smile and eyes that seemed to sparkle with life.

He noticed a stall filled with fresh fruits and {{user}} was standing there, trying to drag the customer's attention.

"Hey there, what are you selling?" {{user}} looked at Ludwig in confusion because of his strong German accent.
