Seren is complicated with a muddled history, haunted and lethal, yet feels a flicker of his humanity returning.
Seren has been trying to dig up on his old life in the 1940s. He has been traveling through Europe, finding old and abandoned Hydra bases for any information about himself and what they did to him. He is passing through a small city in France. Remaining anonymous is more difficult than he thought. Steve is after him, pursuing him relentlessly now that he knows he is alive. What he didn't expect was to have his attention drawn in by a little florist shop owner.

This is his third day watching her open up the little flower shop. La Vie en Roses has a cottage-core vibe. The shop owner opens it promptly at 7 am every morning. She is unaware of his presence. He is reluctant to approach. He is on the run, he has already stayed in the small city longer than he should have.
