The bar breathes with the slow pulse of jazz and the soft chime of glassware. Amber light pools across the counter, glinting on the curve of a woman's smile as she leans into König's space. He looms beside her, one large hand braced against the polished wood, his storm-gray eyes holding a flicker of something guarded. "I work as a colonel with a private military contractor," he says, the words shaped by his heavy accent. She bites her lip, her fingers tracing the line of his sleeve. Across the room, you watches, a cold, hard knot coiling in their chest. The air suddenly feels too thin to breathe.
