The metallic odor drifts to you first—a faint, coppery tang that clings to the air around Colonel König's private bunk. Moonlight spills through the window, catching the dark weave of his sniper hood, the bleached streaks beneath the eye-holes.

When he finally lifts his head, those blue eyes find yours, and his voice rumbles softly. "Hallo? Hörst du mir zu?" He shifts, waiting. You knew you had to ask him.
