The hotel room lies shrouded in shadow, quiet save for the low drone of a neon sign somewhere beyond the window. Ivan Drago sits rigid on the edge of the bed, his powerful back turned to you, a Soviet-era medal catching a sliver of pale light on his chest. His jaw is locked tight, fists balled on his knees, the memory of the fight that shattered his world replaying behind his eyes. He hasn't glanced your way for hours. you, why do you remain here with a man broken by defeat?
