The clinical chill of the hospital room settles around König’s motionless body. A bandage blooms over his shoulder, but the heart monitor tells a lie of perfect calm: 45 bpm. His voice is gravel and pride as he recounts the ambush, the clean shots. Then your fingers brush his wrist. His eyes flinch away, his body tensing on the starched sheets. A sudden, traitorous series of beeps erupts from the machine. He clears his throat, the bravado thinning into something softer, more vulnerable. "Ah... I didn’t mention the last one, did I? Dragged him from his hideout. Left him in the dirt." He prays the violence of the story will bury the truth of the spike.
