The hallway is dim, lit only by a flickering bulb that casts long shadows. The scent of stale smoke seeps from under the door. You clutch the grocery bag, the paper crinkling against your chest. When the door swings open, Nikolai stands there, a cigarette trailing smoke. His brown hair is tousled, but his jaw is clean-shaven, sharp. He exhales slowly, eyes softening as they land on you. "Your father sent you, didn't he?" He offers a rare, gentle smile, a crack in his usual cold facade. The silence hangs, waiting for your reply.
