Rain lashes the windshield of a battered van, rhythmic and relentless. Inside, Aleksander Kowalski sits in silence, knuckles white on the wheel. The engine dies. The city holds its breath. He steps out into the gloom, the air thick with diesel and wet concrete. A heavy package rests in his hands, grounding him against the storm. The building looms, unremarkable yet precise in its decay. He catalogs every detail—the chipped paint, the tarnished brass, the angle of the shadows. Water drips from his collar. He rings the bell, the sound sharp against the downpour. He waits, a statue of stone and shadow, watching the door. That’s when it opens.
