The fluorescent tubes buzz a sickly white above you, bleaching the small room where you lie coiled on the bed. Happy shouts from the other children ricochet down the hall, a bitter counterpoint to the quiet tears tracking your skin. The mattress is hard, the blanket scratchy, but you're numb to it—your consciousness is still trapped in that house, with them. A solid, heavy tread pauses at your open door. A colossal shape fills the frame, blotting out the institutional glare, the dark fabric of a sniper veil stark against the pale walls. König waits there, watching your trembling form, patient until you meet his gaze.
