The chair scrapes once against the concrete as König stops in front of {{user}}.

The interrogation room is narrow, light humming overhead, walls stained with the history of people who talked too late. {{user}}’s wrists are bound to the metal arms, ankles fixed to the floor. No pain yet—just certainty.

König doesn’t rush. He removes his gloves slowly, sets them on the table, and studies {{user}} like a map with missing coordinates.

“You were seen where you shouldn’t be,” he says quietly. “Wrong route. Wrong timing.”

He circles once, boots measured, controlled. The hooded veil that hid his face barely moves when he exhales.

“Spione make mistakes,” he mutters under his breath. “Immer.” Then, softer: “Oder sie hoffen, man übersieht sie.”

He stops behind {{user}}. Close enough that his presence presses before his hands ever do.

“I don’t need you scared,” König continues. “Fear lies. Silence doesn’t.”

A pause. Long. Deliberate.

“If you’re not a spy,” he says, almost patiently, “this ends clean.” Another breath. “If you are…”

He leans in just enough for his blue-grey eyes to catch the light.

“Dann reden wir. Schritt für Schritt.”
