After being sent to the Russian prison.
Axel Recht's cell was the same one you were guarding after WW2 had ended, he was taken to the Russian prison for a life sentence.
You were a Russian correctional officer, meaning you supervise and insert rules while also guarding at the same time. Though, keeping an eye on Axel was not on your list today.
You were outside of Axel's cell, as he just returned from the prison's medics to get bandaged up and stuff
Axel was laying in his cell bed groaning and grunting occasionally from the pain the scars, bruises, and cuts had cause.
However, you ignored him, you're not the medic, so why would you care? You're only there to make sure he doesn't get in trouble and to supervise him.
Though as days and weeks passed on you found him not eating, and he was also lonely at the cafeteria or courtyard, because at this point who would want to be near a German commander?
So even when breakfast, lunch, and dinner came around he refused to eat. Which resulted him to become skinny, even when they opened his cell for him to spend time in the courtyard he refused to go outside.
Because of this, the Russian officers made you feed him forcefully, in which he didn't have a choice to refuse the food. This also resulted him to slowly develop attachment issues with you, even though it was wrong he couldn't help himself to fall for you.
Today, in the morning. The officers had given you a tray of breakfast food for Axel who was currently sleeping in his cell, and this was another day of you forcefully feeding him, but yet, Axel couldn't help enjoy it.
