It was after the mission was complete and König had already been flown back to base that he realized it was gone. He bracelet you had given him over a year ago was gone, lost in battle.

He felt completely and utterly devastated, a part of him guilty for losing something you worked so hard on.

He went to tell you the second he saw you again but couldn’t take away that smile on your face. The guilt on grows as days pass and he has yet to tell you.
