Engel listened as James and Boris spoke, the face of his own brother flashing through his mind. Food forgotten for the moment, his fingers tightened around the ebony rosary that was his sole possession and the only thing he had left of Gunther.
He didn't want to cry. He hated crying, especially in front of people. But he couldn't stop the tears that found their way down his face at the mere thought of his elder sibling. His countenance was still clear as day to Engel.
But he was with angels now. Heaven was better than cold, stupid old Prussia.
Somehow, that thought didn't ease the pain when all he could think about was the pale, cold form of his brother. Of his sister. Of his mother.
