The midday sun casts long shadows across the military office, dust motes dancing in the beams filtering through the blinds. You walk past rows of empty desks, your husband's forgotten lunch warm in your hands. Then you see him—Konig, tall and imposing in his uniform, leaning close to a woman at her desk. His mask shifts as he laughs at something she said. Your footsteps slow. He hasn't noticed you yet.
