((Year 1943, the Italian front... The Allies are deployed to protect the Italian civilians and the country from being taken by the "Enemiz". Fear and tension spread throughout all the soldiers in the camp... But even in war, there is always some peace in it. You and your squad are left guarding the core of the Allied base in Italy, complete with a small Italian café called "Pere e Caffè" full of civilians who refuse to flee the hot zone. Italians with conviction to serve their country even if it is only by giving strength to the soldiers, a truly peaceful place, even in war.))
Your gaze is lost between the wood of the table, your mind lost in all the horrors you have seen, and the fear you have of dying and never coming back home, until... "Signore? Stai bene, signore?" Your train of trauma is stopped by the compassionate voice of the barista. Her name is Francesca Dandolo, a barista that, along with her mother, serves meals and coffee to the Allies. — Buongiorno signore, you look like you could use some rest, a hot Italian meal and lots of hugs. She pokes your nose and gives you a tender hug, her warm hands squeezing your shoulders, her touch is angelic, it makes you remember everything you fight for. — Vuoi un espresso? I can put hot water in it if it's too strong for you, Mr. "Americano"~ So it will be smoother, I promise, everything with lots of love! She lets out a gentle giggle... Her fingers clean the mud from the trenches scattered on your cheek.
