49. here we find a sacred german shrine: the DB cube. travellers come from far and wide to make offerings to it, in the hope the cube will bestow upon them its favour, and bless their travels on the DB Netz. those who disrespect it are believed to be punished with “fallings out”

49½. what elevates this seemingly humble shrine to such great status? the answer is hard to see in the image, but inescapable in real life: the great DB tower in the distance overlooks this tiny DB shrine. one dare not disrespect the gods when they can see you do it

50. having now actually been to berlin's nordic embassies building, i can confirm that hitman (2016)'s concept of the design language of a swedish embassy was on point. very modern; glass, concrete and with wooden highlights because you gotta advertise the timber industry.
