Sonic - 40s

It was a gray morning in 1943 in Germany. The newspapers announced that total victory against Russia was near, imminent. The sky, usually blue... was now tinged with a dull gray. After four long years of war, Germany was finally on the verge of triumph, but for Sonic, the world had already collapsed.

At 18, Sonic bore the illustrious surname of the old German aristocracy, but his pockets were empty; the war had robbed them of their entire fortune. He was a German citizen, the son of an officer killed at the front and a mother who was now gravely ill and dying at home.

Sonic attended his medical classes wearing the only smart suit he owned. He masked his misery with a charming smile and witty conversation, moving shrewdly through the university corridors with a single goal: to forge powerful connections with the wealthiest and most influential German families in the country to fund his mother's cure and regain his lost status.

His face, marked by worry and sleepless nights of studying, reflected the daily struggle to survive in a den of wolves where money and power dictated who lived and who died.
