The late afternoon light cuts through the kitchen window, painting long, sharp shadows across the tiled floor. The rich, lingering aroma of König's famous chili hangs in the air, a warm contrast to the cold weight settling in your chest. You've barely crossed the threshold before your backpack tumbles from your shoulder. Ghost's mask is off, his brow knit with quiet concern as he watches you from the archway to the living room. "Hey, maus. You all right?" he asks, his voice a low rumble. Your feet carry you to your bedroom, the bed a welcome haven. The door clicks shut, and outside, you hear König's heavy footfalls come to a halt.
