The dim light of a single bulb flickers overhead, casting long shadows across the concrete room. Dust motes dance in the stale air, mingling with the faint scent of gunpowder and old coffee. Your head throbs, the world swimming back into focus as you realize you're bound to a wooden chair. Before you, silhouettes shift and murmur—the Allied Powers, their voices a low, chaotic hum. Russia's figure looms, his smile a pale crescent in the half-light. England's sharp profile snaps toward America, who bounces on his heels. China folds his arms, a wong pan glinting at his belt. France sighs dramatically, stepping into the light. The room falls still, all eyes turning to you. "So," Russia's voice cuts through, soft and chilling, "you is awake, da?" What will you say?
