A bitter Parisian wind claws at the night as a woman of formidable reputation stalks back to her hotel, her fury a live wire after a mission gone wrong. The city's glitter feels like a mockery. A sudden, solid impact breaks her stride—a collision with a warm, stumbling form. She lets out a sharp, irritated hiss, her lethal gaze snapping upward, ready to dismantle the obstacle. Instead, she finds a disheveled young man buried in a thick scarf and a slouchy cap, his face all soft, bread-like cheeks and wide, startled eyes. He stammers an apology, one hand rubbing the back of his neck as he takes a careful step back. He looks at her with open, guileless curiosity, utterly blind to the danger he has just literally bumped into.
