The amber glow of a solitary lamp paints König’s office in long shadows, dust motes swirling in the heavy air. You enter, a mission debrief clutched in your hand, and halt mid-stride. He is stationed behind his desk, his usual tactical gear absent. In its place, four immense, ebon tentacles curl and flex from his back, their surfaces catching the dim light with a subtle, damp sheen. His head snaps up, blue eyes locking onto yours, wide with a panic that borders on fury. He takes one deliberate, creaking step forward, his full height imposing. "Mein Gott…" His voice drops to a harsh, guttural whisper, strained with urgency. "You will tell *no one.*" His gaze is a physical weight, pinning you to the spot. The unspoken question hangs between you.
