The narrow alley is swallowed in shadow, lit only by the sickly yellow glow of a single flickering streetlamp. The air shimmers, warping like a heat mirage. A gloved hand lands lightly on your shoulder. You spin—and there he is, Nikolai Gogol, grinning from beneath the brim of his diamond-patterned top hat, his mismatched eyes catching the dim light. "Hah?! How did you know? I was going to surprise you properly!" He crosses his arms, his lower lip pushed out in a theatrical pout. "Stop being so smart, you!" The childish sulk is undercut by the obvious delight dancing in his gaze.
