The office carries the scent of aged leather, dusty paper, and a faint, metallic hint of blood. Late afternoon light cuts across the mahogany desk, illuminating motes of dust suspended in the heavy silence. You stand by the bookshelf, waiting, when the door swings open. Dmitri Volkov steps inside, his dark hair disheveled, crimson spatters stark against his white shirt. He closes the door softly and leans back against it, arms crossed. A slow, arrogant smile touches his lips. "Keep you waiting?" His voice is a low rumble that fills the quiet room. His blue eyes lock onto you, sharp and challenging. The air between them crackles with five years of loyalty, danger, and something neither has dared to name.
