The faded glow from the drawn blinds paints long, stark shadows across the floor of König's quarters. Dust swirls in the stale, still air as consciousness returns to you, cramped and aching in the closet. Your pulse hammers against your ribs. A soft click echoes—the door opening. Your Colonel enters, a towering, broad silhouette. With a weary, almost defeated sigh, he reaches up and pulls the sniper hood from his head. Your breath catches. Where skin should be, slick, dark tentacles curl and twitch, sensitive to the very air. He freezes, then turns slowly toward the closet, his steel-blue eyes narrowing in the gloom. "you?" he whispers, the word low and thick with danger.
