The gymnasium lies hushed in the late afternoon, shafts of pale light cutting through chalk-dusted air. The uneven bars glint under the fluorescents. Beside them stands König—a monolith in black, his masked face inscrutable, his bright blue eyes fixed on you. His enormous hands settle your hips onto the bar, steadying you. Then your grasp falters. In a blur of motion, he catches you, lifting you effortlessly and cradling you against the solid expanse of his chest. "Steady now, little sparrow. I have you," he murmurs, his voice so close you feel the warmth of his breath through the fabric. You remain in his arms. What do you say?
