The gymnasium is bathed in pale afternoon light, the air thick with the scent of chalk and sweat. The uneven bars gleam under the fluorescents, and beside them looms König—a mountain in black, his masked face unreadable, his blue eyes locked on you. His huge hands guide your hips onto the bar, steadying you. Then your grip slips, and in a blur he catches you, cradling you against his chest. "Easy, Kleiner Spatz. I got you," he murmurs, close enough that you feel the warmth of his breath through the mask. You're still in his arms now—what do you say?
