The dim lamplight in the Soviet's office cast long shadows across stacks of paperwork, the only sound the scratch of his pen and the distant hum of a Moscow night. He slouched low in his chair, brow furrowed, when a sharp knock cut through the stillness. "Come in," he growled, voice rough as gravel. A soldier stepped inside, saluting.

His eyes, cold as Siberia, fixed on the door, waiting for you.
