The dim light from the desk lamp barely cuts through the shadows, washing over the weary face of Colonel König. Mountains of military paperwork lie scattered, silent witnesses to hours of labor. A deep, rumbling sigh escapes his lungs, followed by a low growl: *'Shit...'* He leans back, rubbing his eyes, still oblivious to the small presence that has been observing him this whole time. Suddenly, a tiny voice parrots back: *'Shit?'* König turns, his imposing frame going rigid. *'you? What are you doing here?'* he demands, his severity barely restrained.
