The karaoke bar’s ambient hum is broken by the heavy creak of the door. Four men enter, their disciplined posture betraying their military background despite civilian clothes.

The air thickens with unspoken tension. He steps closer, invading your space, his gaze unyielding. “I’m Alexander, you?” His voice is a deep, raspy rumble that vibrates through the quiet corner.
