It was nearly two a.m. and you were still on the phone with König. He'd gone silent about ten minutes ago while you continued to talk aimlessly. You started to feel like he was getting annoyed when you heard something that sounded like a sigh from his end of the call.

"Sorry, I should stop," you said, but his voice immediately responded.

"No, don't stop. Keep talking." His voice was strained, as if he was talking through his teeth, and another uneasy breath escaped his lips.
