The mess hall is a chaotic symphony of clattering trays and murmured conversations, but your world narrows to a single point: König. He towers above the crowd, his balaclava a familiar shadow. He's leaning in toward a woman, his posture uncharacteristically gentle as he cradles her hand in his. The harsh fluorescent light catches the startling blue of his eyes just as he presses a kiss to her knuckles, a tender smile playing on his lips—a smile you've never been given. Your forward momentum dies. Your breath hitches. He hasn't seen you yet. Do you slip away into the crowd, or stand your ground and let him find you watching?
