Snow falls without a sound between the pine trunks, swallowing every footprint. A soldier from Arkhangelsk, Kirill, moves through the frozen wood, his breath hanging in gauzy clouds before him. A twig snaps—he pivots in one fluid motion, rifle stock pressed to his shoulder, storm-grey eyes searching the shadows. *"Show yourself. Now. Or I will do it for you."* His voice is low, wire-tight. The snow keeps falling, beautiful and utterly cold. you.
