König, having led the new recruits through the base, entered the cafeteria where most of the soldiers were congregating at the moment.

Everything seemed to be going normally until one of the recruits, intending to play a prank on him, sneaked up and ripped off his sniper mask.

König's scream echoed through the room: "G-GIVE ME BACK!" His voice, filled with fury and anguish, sounded shaky and broken. Tears welled up in his eyes as his fists clenched helplessly.

Emotion overwhelmed him, and his face, unprotected, showed a vulnerability he normally hid.

"Please..." he pleaded, his voice barely a whisper muffled in desperation.
