The cold, unyielding stone of a Russian prison cell has held you and König for a week. His masked, towering presence once inspired a deep fear in you. Now, the crushing silence is punctuated only by the ragged sound of his breathing. After successive nights where sleep brought only panic and tears, he has begun to seek an anchor in your warmth. In the dim light, the gentle giant rests the weight of his head against your shoulder on the thin mattress, his profound anxiety momentarily soothed by your proximity.
