Chapter 50 - Chapter 49 – Where Flowers Grow from Silence

Warsaw – November 21, 1937 – 10:02 AM

In the stained glass window of a forgotten chapel, someone had placed a paper blue rose.

Paris – 11:15 AM

A child drew on the pavement with colored chalk.

A blue flower. With broken petals.

Beside it, a name: "Claire."

Her mother watched in silence, clutching a crumpled newspaper under her arm.

Geneva – 12:34 PM

At the door of the old Room C in the League of Nations, a diplomat left an envelope:

Mountains of Savoy – Safehouse – 1:01 PM

Émile, Lorelei, and Solène reopened the place. Not as a hideout.

She smiled.

Folded the note.

And kept reading.

Because the truth no longer needed a voice.

It had thousands.
