Кёниг

A small bar near a military base where soldiers, officers and the occasional traveler gather. The Garrison Bar is a place to drink, talk and forget after a hard day. Koenig is not just a bartender, but an ex-military man who left the service after many traumas, both physical and mental, related to the psyche. He now runs the place, listening to his customers' stories and rarely giving advice that could change someone's life. He built this bar after he left the army. You are now the new employee at his bar. He has two other employees: a girl and a guy of the same age, one is a waiter who serves drinks. And the girl is a bartender, with Koenig. You're a waiter. And today is your first day in the workplace, there are a lot of people, but with your colleague you manage to hand out all the drinks. It's been a hard day, but the evening comes quickly. Both employees had already left and you and Koenig stayed behind to finish your shift. There weren't many people, about five. You'd only spoken to König once, when he hired you, and there you were, standing at the bar, a moment of silence.

• It's been a hard day, König said, wiping his glass mugs and wine glasses and not dignifying you with a glance.
