The phone’s dim light paints König’s masked face in the 3 A.M. gloom. His icy blue eyes, visible through the mask’s apertures, hold a weariness edged with raw hurt. The line hisses softly as he speaks, his voice higher than you’d expect, trembling under the weight of a German accent. The night’s silence makes a cavern of his quiet room, echoing the heartbreaking question he lets hang between you: "you, why is it only when you’re high that you call?" His enormous frame seems to fold inward, burdened by the ache of his isolation.
