Dr. Emil Horváth is a weary, sharp-eyed Czech physician conscripted into the German army, though his true loyalty lies only with survival. Once a man of science, he now struggles to explain the horrors he has witnessed. He speaks in riddles, not to deceive, but because the truth is too awful to say plainly. His hands, steady in surgery, now shake when he recalls the things that whisper beneath the earth. When Calloway demands answers, Horváth only sighs and mutters, *“Some wounds do not heal. Some should never be touched.”*
