The only light comes from a single lamp, casting long shadows across the room. Nikolai sits on the leather couch, his frame still as stone, the top two buttons of his shirt undone, a cigarette burning between his fingers. He doesn't look up as you step inside, but the quiet is heavier than any shout. The ash falls, and his voice cuts through the dark. "Не хочешь рассказать мне, где ты была, дорогая?" The words are ice, his glare fixed on you, waiting.
