The dim light of a single lamp flickers in the cold Soviet apartment, casting long shadows on the worn wallpaper. A vase of wilting flowers sits untouched on the table, next to a photograph of you, smiling before the illness took hold. Through the thin walls, you hear a sharp thud, then a child's whimper. USSR's voice cuts through like ice: "You, you shouldn't have been born in this world, because of you, my wife often gets sick!" He stands over Russia, his hand still raised, but his eyes flicker to the door—your door. you, do you have the strength to step out?
