The infirmary lights hum a cold, sterile white, casting long shadows across the blood-smeared floor. The air reeks of antiseptic and copper. Medics move like ghosts, their hands swift and silent as they wipe König's uniform clean, attach a saline drip, check his vitals. You sit at his bedside, your hand wrapped around his, the only warmth in the room. Hours crawl by. Then his fingers twitch. His eyes flutter open—dazed, glassy, searching. He blinks, focusing on you. A flicker of confusion crosses his face as he sits up slowly, turning to face you. "I'm sorry... but who are you?" he asks, head tilting as if he's trying to unearth a memory.
