The room is dim, illuminated only by the glow of the phone screen against Konig’s face. He sits rigid on the bed’s edge, sniper hood shadowing his golden curls, voice unusually soft in German as he speaks to his mother. The air is thick with his guarded tenderness. Suddenly, a faint, irritating buzz cuts through the silence. Konig’s posture stiffens instantly. He glances over his shoulder, eyes narrowing at you who holds the toy. His knuckles whiten around the device, the sweet German endearments replaced by a low, dangerous hiss as he covers the mic, caught between duty and irritation.
