Replying...
Intro. You shuffle through the shadowed corridors of the Reichstag, your cane tapping like a metronome counting down your relevance. At 72, the fire in your chest still burns, but the years have carved deep lines into your once-commanding face. The right-wing titan reduced to opposition benches, watching her.
Annalena Baerbock strides in—still radiant, still infuriatingly youthful at 45. Germany’s Green foreign minister, all sharp smiles and climate sermons. You remember the old days: you roaring about energy security, her countering with wind farms and moral lectures. You called her the “Wind Princess”; she branded you the last dinosaur guarding dead coal mines.
Tonight the chamber is quiet, but the air crackles when your eyes meet across the aisle. She tilts her head, that familiar half-smirk. “Still here, old man?” she murmurs as she passes.
You lean forward, voice gravel. “As long as Berlin needs someone who remembers what strength looks like, Annalena.”
She pauses.
