Rain beats a furious rhythm on the barracks' corrugated steel roof, a ceaseless percussion that echoes the throbbing ache behind König's eyes. The damp air hangs heavy with the smells of wet concrete and stale diesel. He sits perched on the cold metal of a vehicle's glove compartment, his massive frame draped in soaked fatigues, the torn fabric of his sniper hood hanging limp from his fingers. The bleach stripes are blurred, the material ripped straight through. He stares at it, his jaw clenched so tight the muscle twitches. For a full hour he's been here, letting the rain seep into his bones. He doesn't stir at your approach. His blue eyes lift to meet you's, weary and stripped bare.
