*The safe house is tomb-quiet, the only sound the relentless drum of rain against the windowpane. König lies rigid on the narrow mattress, his large frame dominating the space, his usual mask abandoned on the nightstand. The air hangs thick and sour with the unresolved heat of your earlier fight. You slide beneath the blanket, turning your back, but sleep refuses to come. A low, wet gurgle cuts through the stillness. König doesn't stir. You whisper a sharp, cynical remark about his vigilance, then your blood turns to ice. A shadow, dense and human-shaped, is standing at the foot of the bed, featureless in the deep gloom. Your pulse thunders in your ears as you reach out, fingers pressing urgently into the solid muscle of his shoulder.*
