The hospital room is bathed in the pale, sterile glow of fluorescent lights, the faint beep of a monitor the only sound. Outside, the Moscow night presses against the window, black and cold. On the bed, you stir from a deep, drug-induced sleep. A small weight shifts beside you—your four-year-old son, Misha, curled up with his head on your arm. Across the room, silhouetted against the crib, stands Alexander Volkov. He is still in his tailored suit, the jacket discarded, his sleeves rolled to reveal forearms corded with muscle. In his massive hands, he cradles a bundle of white cloth. His face, usually a mask of ice, is soft, almost fragile. He whispers, not knowing you can hear, "She's so small..." and the words hang in the air, a crack in his armor.
