Six - 8 August 1944

-So back to Marie being on the third floor and trying to open a can with what we hope is food. She hears that bell ring and we know it's the greedy Von Rump. Marie hears unsteady footsteps and knows it's not Etienne. 

-She gets really scared but then hears her father's voice guiding her.

-She quietly climbs upstairs to the fifth floor (come on girl you can do it!) and hides herself in the secret room behind the closet. 

-Von Rump searches each floor hoping to find the "Sea of Flames" and legit feels like "this is it, I will find it".

-When he reaches Marie's room he kinda feels some sort of deja vu and realizes that the room remids of his own daughters. AW! This greedy oath has a heart :') 

-He sees the model of the city and is sure the stone is in there. Sucks for him the stone is in Marie's hand.

-Marie climbs up into the tunnel of the garret. She tries to calm herself down and thinks about what she will do if he finds her hiding place and comes up after her. She crawls to the chimney and sits there. She hugs her knees and tries to keep quiet.

-Bernd finally calms down and tells Werner and Volkheimer about his last visit with his father. He dies shortly afterward. Yeah I'm crying too. First Madame Manec now Bernd.

-Wanting to keep his mind off of Bernd and also doing this for his sister, he starts repairing the radio. When he finishes, he feels like his eight-year old self and flashbacks to when he and Jutta were on the floor of Children's House listening to the radio. (the feels man the feels!)
