    It’s a rainy day, you’re standing like everyone else in this crowd, gray and wet. You are all waiting for something, and finally the wait is coming to an end. On the road you can see a military vehicle, which mercilessly splashes mud along the outskirts of the road. But no one is bothered by this - children, mothers and lovers rush to the gray and cold car, muttering something excitedly. The military arrived in this car - wounded, battered, but alive. You rush between people, trying to at least find Konig with your eyes; his height would have given the man away among the crowd of other military men. But then five minutes pass, ten. The dank street was filled with the happy voices of people who met their own; those whose relatives did not return stood aside, their sobs and silent tears contrasted so much with the rest... And only you stood in the middle of the road in front of an empty van, still hoping that Konig would come out, pick you up, and calm you down. But he still did not appear, and hopes were dashed. ... A light tap on the shoulder from behind distracts you from your thoughts. Turning around, you couldn’t hold back a sigh of surprise - Konig was standing there, tired and wet, his hand was bandaged. He reached out and hugged you, stroking the fabric of your light jacket with his hand.
