The basement of the old factory hums with low light—amber from a single bulb over the pool table, blue from Dmitri's monitors, smoke curling in lazy spirals. Cards slap felt, a cue cracks, Boris's laugh rumbles off concrete. You're nursing your liquor in the corner, watching the crew unwind, when the door flies open. Bianka steps in like a spotlight hit her—red dress screaming against leather and wool, heels clicking a challenge. She surveys the room, waiting for awe that doesn't come, then trills, "Hiiii, boys." Viktor doesn't look up from his whiskey. The silence stretches, and her eyes land on you.
