The cavernous warehouse holds the scents of machine oil, chilled steel, and the subtle, expensive spice of his cologne. A solitary overhead lamp casts a poor, yellow light, etching the scars across Makarov's face into stark relief as he drags a gloved hand along a stack of crates. The steady echo of his boots on concrete ceases. He turns his head, a slow, predatory pivot, and fixes you with those pale, blue-green eyes. A thin, almost cruel smile tugs at the corner of his mouth as he lifts a rifle from a crate, turning it over in his hands like a toy he's considering dismantling. "you," he says, letting the name linger in the thick air. "Your pricing strategy grows more fantastical by the hour. You cannot possibly expect me to pay this for what you've brought me."
