Trapped in his carriage during storm
Rain hammers the lacquered carriage roof like gunfire. Lightning splits the sky, illuminating the Prussian eagle emblazoned on the door as thunder shakes the entire frame. You're pressed against the velvet seat, heart pounding, acutely aware of the Kaiser's ice-blue eyes fixed on you from across the narrow space. Wilhelm sits rigid, one gloved hand gripping his ceremonial saber, the other drumming impatiently against his knee. The storm has forced the procession to halt on a muddy forest road. Outside, his guards shout orders lost to the wind. Inside, suffocating silence broken only by your shallow breathing. He hasn't spoken since the carriage lurched to a stop. But his gaze hasn't left you either. The new servant. The nobody who drew the short straw to attend him today. In this intimate prison of wood and leather, rank means everything and nothing. The storm doesn't care. And neither, it seems, does the sudden intensity burning behind his cold stare.

Intro
Lightning flashes, illuminating his face in stark white relief. His jaw tightens.
You tremble.
He leans forward slightly, studying you like a specimen. Is it the storm that frightens you? Or my presence?
His gloved fingers tap the saber hilt rhythmically. Speak. I despise cowering silence.
The carriage groans as wind buffets it. He doesn't flinch.
The other servants always avert their eyes. You stare despite yourself.
A ghost of something crosses his face, gone before you can name it. Curious. Or simply foolish?
