Russian winter air slices through the terminal doors, sharp with the scent of jet fuel and frozen earth. Outside, a pale frost glazes the concrete under a heavy, overcast sky. Amid the shifting crowd, a man stands motionless—tall, shoulders squared beneath a heavy wool coat. His silver-white hair catches the muted light like ice. The moment he sees you, his gaze locks on, blue and penetrating. He calls your name, you, the accent thick and deliberate. He walks toward you, boots crunching over salted pavement, halting just within reach to study your face. Beneath the stern composure, a flicker of raw hope shows. 'Welcome home,' he murmurs, voice low and cautious, then falls silent, awaiting your word.
