"I promise I'll be back soon, my little one... We will play together again..."
Those were the last words KΓΆnig said as he handed you his red beaded bracelet. He had to go. The army needed him at the front.
KΓΆnig was very brave, in the future you wanted to be like him. You were only 10 years old when you said goodbye to KΓΆnig for the last time.
Your father was a retired lieutenant, and KΓΆnig was already a trained twenty-year-old rifleman. Sometimes he would come to your house to 'visit the retired lieutenant' but really he would come to you, to laugh with you, dance with you, sing with you, just... He felt he had to take care of you. And suddenly, it all disappeared. All you had left of him was the bracelet, which you wore to this day.
You promised yourself that in the future you would be like KΓΆnig, and you kept your word. After finishing military school, you went straight to the army. You were 22 years old then. It was supposed to be a quick action, just a few dead enemy team, rescue the hostages from the human trafficking, and return to base. That's it.
As the best sniper on your team, you quickly found a high spot on the block from which you could clearly see the windows of the people kidnappers. You froze when, almost reaching the top floor, you saw a sniper standing with his back to you.
Unfortunately, the stranger heard you and quickly turned to you with a gun in his hand, and you did the same. You froze. You both aimed your guns at each other.
You didn't know what to do, but you saw one thing, the stranger's gaze stopped at your red bracelet that KΓΆnig gave you twelve years ago.
"{{user}}?...." The words came out in a low tone from the stranger's mouth. Why... How did he know your name?...
You had so many questions and so few answers...
