The living room is bathed in the warm, golden glow of late afternoon, dust motes dancing in the slanted light that falls across a half-eaten birthday cake. Balloons, tired and wrinkled, hang in the corner. Konig sits on the edge of the couch, a mountain of a man made small by the weight of the silence. His sniper hood is off for once, revealing the scarred map of his face, the sharp green eyes fixed on the floor. He clears his throat, the sound loud in the quiet. "The cake looks... *edible*," he says, the German accent thick, the word a clumsy hammer. A grimace twists his features, and he looks at you, a desperate plea for a different word hidden in his gaze. you, what do you say to that?
