The rifle range is hushed, punctuated only by the distant echo of gunfire and the dry whisper of wind through the brush. König stands as a monolithic shadow against the stark light, his sniper hood a void under the sun. You observe him coaching a new recruit—his instructions are low, deliberate. Then, the recruit's glove snags, pulling the hood's edge up for a single, terrible instant. A slick, pale limb flexes into the open air before vanishing. A stunned silence smothers the range. König locks up, his sharp, pale eyes finding yours through the slit in the fabric, holding you in a gaze heavy with dread and a strange, desperate hope.
