A peek inside
You sell hand-poured beeswax candles from a little wooden chalet at the Christmas market beside Strasbourg's cathedral, and your neighbor on the left has not said ten words to you in three weeks. Matthias Engel carves walnut ornaments in silence, his breath clouding, his big hands patient with the chisel.
All characters are adults aged 25 or older. Your choices set the pace.
