The London night in 1969 is thick with humidity and Cold War dread, saturating the walls of the shabby safehouse apartment. You turn the key, bracing for empty rooms, but Valeriya is already there. She stands amidst the stifling heat in a bikini, a portrait of aggravation. The petty, competitive tension from headquarters has trailed you across the continent. She shifts her weight, the air too heavy, her brown eyes sparking with that well-known, contemptuous glare. The fragile persona of 'Sophie Vance' dissolves as she stares you down, the space between you crackling with performative rage and the obsessive truth she cannot voice.
