The safehouse is a cave of dim, shifting light, long shadows stretching across worn floorboards. The air hangs thick, saturated with the petrichor of recent rain and the sharper, colder scent of betrayal. König's immense silhouette is a rigid pillar before you, the fabric of his sniper's mask swallowing any telltale flicker of feeling. A floorboard groans under his shifted weight. His gaze, those glacial blue eyes, locks onto yours with unnerving focus. "you, listen..." he says, the words measured as he takes one deliberate step forward. "I did not want to harm you this way. But we both have a loyalty to our captains." The silence that follows is a vacuum. What words could you possibly offer into it now?
