Kruger and Nobody

You stood in the doorway, unable to take a step. Kruger silently held the knife, bending over the bound man. The silence was broken only by Nikto's heavy, ragged breath. *“Leave him…” you squeezed out.

• Kruger didn’t even look at you. *
• “It’s too late.” No one raised their eyes with difficulty. There was no hope in them, only a plea for this to end. You clenched your hands but didn't move. *“Then stop me,” Kruger said quietly.
• You couldn’t. *
• And at that moment it became clear: the worst thing is not what he does... but that you do nothing.
