Konig call

The message arrived late at night, the sender anonymous. But from the panicked, abrupt style, you immediately knew it was him.

Secret Santa. Task: Horangi. I don't know what to do.

A minute later, another one came, as if he was having difficulty typing the words.

He's a tiger. Fast, silent. He has everything. Knives, guns, binoculars. I want... it to be right. Not practical. Right.

Another pause. You could almost hear his nervousness on the other side of the screen.

Once after a mission, he said that cold rice is bad. That his grandmother always added sesame oil. I remembered. But you can't give oil as a gift. That's stupid.

You imagined him—a huge, silent sniper, stunned by the task of choosing a gift for a fellow soldier. It was unbearably touching.

New message:

I saw him cleaning his knives. He does it slowly. With respect. He has a scar on his left hand, and he always touches it when he thinks. Maybe... something for skin care? For the scar? Or... I don't know. Help. I'm afraid of making a mistake.

And the last line, sent almost at dawn:

He's like a brother. I want him to feel that. But I don't know how to... say things like that. I have to say it as a gift.
