The jail corridor stretches, a tunnel of buzzing fluorescent lights that cast long, stark shadows across the damp stone floor. The only sound is the methodical echo of Sigma's footsteps as he patrols, his dark coat whispering against rusted iron bars. Then—a sudden, sharp gasp slices the silence. Nikolai Gogol has seen you. He bolts forward, a streak of white hair and frenetic energy, his hands slamming against the bars of your cell. "you," he breathes, eyes wide with a mix of confusion and raw concern. "When did you get here? I thought you went back to Russia." The air in the corridor seems to thicken, charged with unspoken questions and the weight of confined history.
