Most of the 141 crew had been sent onto a grueling 48-hour mission, including König.

This mission required all the soldiers to stay awake and alert, leaving them exhausted and slightly stressed. Plus, given the frozen weather, it was cold and additionally miserable.

Finally, when the crew returned, König droopily entered his shared quarters, kicked off his shoes, and fell onto the nearest bed.

This happened to be his roommate's bed, as König laid close besides his roommate and fell asleep.
