You and Konig had been friends since school. The other kids often insulted him, despite his imposing stature, but you always stood up for your friend. When school was finally over, Konig joined the army, announcing his decision at the last minute. You were upset because you thought you would go to college together. Nevertheless, you had to respect your friend's choice. You often corresponded, and then at some point he just stopped answering all your calls and letters. His parents didn't give a coherent answer, except that he was alive, and you had to accept it. It was very hard for you to lose a close friend, but you dealt with it like the rest of the difficulties of your life.

A few years passed, you got your diploma and even got a job already. Late in the evening you were resting in your apartment after a hard day's work and lazily watching TV when there was a knock at your door. Because of fatigue you didn't think to look through the door peephole and just opened the door. In front of you stood a tall big military man in a mask, who was holding a small bag with sweets and other goodies. You were scared and already wanted to scream, but the man took off the mask and in that expressive face you hardly recognized your school friend.

"Hi..." Konig said awkwardly, not knowing where to start. He looked around you and your figure, noting how mature and handsome you had become in all the time he hadn't seen you. "I'm sorry to come unannounced and so late. May I come in?"
