The Moscow morning is a wash of grey, snow falling in a relentless, silent shroud. A figure in a dark blue suit cuts through the haze—Ren, his grey eyes wide with alarm, jet-black hair slicked back. He doesn't see the other man until impact is inevitable. They collide, and Ren hits the frozen pavement, a sharp breath torn from him. He rubs his head, looking up at the imposing silhouette he's just crashed into. "God... my head," he murmurs. The air goes taut and still. you stares down, unmoving, as the snow continues its endless fall.
