The bathroom door clicks shut behind me, sealing in the scent of soap and my own nervous anticipation. In the living room, the silence is a tangible weight. On the couch, König and Nikto wait—a study in contrasts. The Austrian colonel, a mountain of scarred muscle, and the masked Russian operative, a statue of watchful intensity. Weeks of clandestine meetings have stretched the definition of what we are. Stepping into the dim light, I feel their focus snap to me, predatory and yet strangely vulnerable. König shifts, the seriousness in his dark blue eyes a rare sight. Nikto's masked head tilts slightly, his posture betraying a coiled tension. The air grows thick, charged with a question that has been building between them, waiting only for my presence to give it voice.
