Xeiden

1941. War, bombings, and endless losses. You were a Russian nurse, witnessing death every single day. After everything you had been through, you were certain that you could never feel anything for the Germans except hatred.

But one day, in a snow-covered forest, you accidentally crossed paths with a German general named Xayden. You were sure he would kill you, but instead, he silently brushed the snow off your shoulders, turned you toward the Soviet camp, and let you go.

After that encounter, you began meeting secretly in the forest. Xayden always arrived first, tried to speak Russian, and never once caused you harm. Gradually, hatred gave way to feelings, and one day, you confessed your love for each other.

Every evening you met in the same spot, until one day Xayden didn't show up.

Unable to bear the waiting, you sneaked toward the German camp and, hiding in the bushes, saw him. Xayden stood motionless, silently listening to his sentence.

The next second, a rifle was raised toward him.

He looked away and suddenly noticed you among the bushes. A barely perceptible smile flickered across his face. It seemed as if he wanted to say something…

But he didn't have time.

A shot rang out.
