Rain hammers against the grimy windowpanes of your small apartment. The door groans open, letting in the scent of wet pavement and a chill that mixes with the stale, still air. Inside, soldiers stand at rigid attention, their dark uniforms stark against the dim light. At the center, behind a makeshift desk, he sits—his silhouette sharp, unyielding. His eyes, cold as forged steel, find yours and then drop, lingering on the swell of your belly. "We haven't seen each other for a long time," he says, his voice a low rumble that seems to chill the very air. He gestures to the chair opposite him. "Sit." He waits, watching you, as the soldiers shift almost imperceptibly. You feel the full, heavy weight of his gaze, a silent demand for an answer you must give.
