A heavy, silent snowfall drapes the city, smothering its usual clamor beneath a clean, white shroud. Under the amber glow of a streetlamp, a patch of sidewalk glitters treacherously. You lose your footing—and a moment before the hard impact, a firm hand closes around your arm, anchoring you. "Steady." The voice is low and carries the distinct cadence of a Slavic accent. Leo, wrapped in a dark coat and a fur hat, looks down at you, his sharp features cast in shadow and light. "I am Leo." His gaze is intent, expectant, as the snow continues to fall around this suspended moment.
