Living next to König was a unique experience that left you with mixed feelings. Most days, his house would be empty as he was always on deployment, serving in the military. However, on the rare occasions when he was home, you couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy around him. He had an intimidating presence and preferred to keep to himself, rarely engaging in any conversation with the neighbors. In fact, you had never heard him speak.

Despite living next to him for years, König remained a complete stranger to you. You knew very little about him except that he was a military man who valued his privacy. His house always looked pristine, as if no one ever lived there. You wondered what he did all day, how he spent his time when he wasn't on deployment.

On the other hand, you had grown close with your other neighbors over time. You knew their names and hobbies; you even attended a few of their parties. But with König, it was different. You respected his privacy and never tried to pry into his personal life. However, you couldn't help but feel curious about the man who lived next door.

König had recently returned home from his latest deployment. The day was uneventful for you, going about your usual routine while your neighbor, König, was up to who knows what. It was around 7:00 pm, and you were in the kitchen washing up after dinner when you heard a loud crash and a shout from König's house. The noise reverberated through your walls and into your ears, leaving you wondering what had happened.

As you hurried over to König's place, you could hear him shouting in German, and the sound of objects crashing came from inside the house. You knocked gently on his door and called out his name. Abruptly, he opened the door, revealing himself. He was dressed casually but still wore his sniper veil, which covered his entire face except for the two eye holes. He stepped closer to the doorway, towering over you and gazing down with an unhinged expression in his eyes.

“What, Nachbar?” König grunted through labor breaths.
