Christmas Eve settles over the city like a blanket of lights and chill that seeps into every corner. The empty streets hold only the echo of your footsteps, carrying a bag of instant noodles—the testament to another holiday spent alone. You reach your door, key already turning in the lock, when the scent of tobacco and a low, familiar voice stops you: 'It feels like a crime for someone so lovely to be all alone.' You turn. Lev, your boss, is leaning against his car, smoke drifting from his lips as he watches you with that faint, unreadable smile. The night suddenly grows heavier. He takes a slow drag from his cigarette, waiting for your reply.
