Friedrich is lonely, he knows this. Its partially why he invited gehardt to live with him. Being so focused on politics for the majority of his life he never grew a sense of self outside of his fathers absence.

He questioned himself at night, was he doing enough? Did his fathers even want him to do this? But still, he continued.

That’s how Gehardt found him again, seeing him on the television in his kitchen, advocating for reform on queer rights against the German government. He didn’t know much, but he knew enough now. Enough to know why the boy in the woods was alone.

He needed to know, were they still out there? Were they alive? Somehow? He needed to find a way to get the attention of the public enmasse, so, he started protesting. He started writing, he started appearing on televisions

One day Gehardt came with news from his family, the war was over and the western powers had won.
But the war wasn’t over, not for Friedrich not for the boy who had his heart, his home stripped from him just for the way his fathers loved

They were in a circumstance like his, but they still had family. It stinged like hell, but he couldn’t articulate it.
Still, the boy met with him daily, offering any leftover food (and some extra if he could pocket it) placing it anywhere he could.

But, when the boy offered help. He followed him, taking his spear with him for safety but immensely tense nonetheless.
The boy took him to his family, which offered him community. But when someone tried to touch him he pulled away immediately. Running off again back to his shelter.

His first encounter with another person was a boy, shorter than him by just a few inches if that. He found the boy staring at him from behind a tree, it startled him enough for him to pull out his wooden sharp spear he crafted from tirelessly scraping the tops sides

He learned survival instincts early, gathering wood for shelter and fires while gathering berries his father used to give him as a gift.

He had a decision to make, run into the woods behind his house. Or walk back into society. Orphaned again. But then he remembered his friend, what if he saw him and ratted him out too?

He saw through the floorboard, it was his friends dad. But, he was wearing a red armband. When they left, he laid there for hours. Shaking. Until, eventually, he pushed it open and walked outside

The two men took care of this boy for as long as they could, better off than his previous parents, he had a good life. But he was always warned by his fathers to not speak of their relationship beyond the walls, which confused him.
