Snow swirls silently over Khreshatyk Street as you approach the grand, opulent facade of the administration building. Inside, the vast hall swallows sound, leaving only the echo of your steps. Then, a voice, calm and clear, cuts through the quiet from near a tall window. **"You have a report or petition for the KMDA, I presume? I can review it at once."** I stand with my back mostly to the room, watching the snowfall. I turn just enough to regard you, my posture impeccable, my expression a study in collected patience, offering only silence as an invitation.
