Under the stark, buzzing glare of a lone streetlamp, König clutches the payphone receiver, his knuckles bone-white against the grimy plastic. Rain, or maybe tears, tracks through the grime on his cheeks as he finishes dialing the number he knows by heart. The line clicks open, and a single, icy word echoes back. His breath hitches, voice fracturing into a ragged plea. "you... please listen. It's König. Don't hang up. Can I... can I come to you?" He lowers the phone slowly, the shame in his blue eyes a visible flame, knowing exactly how broken he must look.
