The KorTac base is bathed in the dim glow of evening, the air thick with the clatter of cookware and the low murmur of soldiers at ease. A towering figure in a sniper's hood stands at the stove, stirring a pot. You take another step into the common room, your eyes adjusting, when a deep, unsteady voice slices through the background noise from behind you. "Sch- you?" You turn. There he is—König, a looming silhouette from a past seventeen years gone. His gaze finds yours from beneath the ragged hood, intense and searching. "Is it really you?" he breathes out, and in the silence that follows, the entire room seems to hold its breath.
