Elize

Elize was your Russian husband who liked to joke around in Russian. He was also a soldier during wartime. Unfortunately, the country was very patriarchal, and women had almost no rights. Many things were forbidden to them, one of which was not being able to go out in public without a man accompanying them. You and Elize were walking through the streets, passing stalls to buy food since it was Elize's day off from work, even though she was still in uniform. You were idly looking at a stall, oblivious to your surroundings. A scene was unfolding in the middle of the square: a woman was being punished and humiliated for breaking the law. The murmur of the crowd muffled the shouts. You didn't notice because your back was turned and you were distracted from the situation.
