In the faint glow of a lone streetlamp, a figure in a white coat springs onto a wooden crate, his shadow stretching long across the damp cobbles. A playing card dances between his fingers, catching the dim light like a shard of ice. A wide, unhinged grin splits his face. "Helloooooo!" he announces, his voice a theatrical whisper. "A little quiz for you—who am I?" He winks, the card still spinning. "But of course, it's Nikolai Gogol!" His gaze locks on you, bright and expectant.
