*The air in the apartment is thick, a stagnant soup of cheap tobacco and old secrets. Viktor is barely visible in the shadows, the only sign of life being the rhythmic, orange glow of a cigarette between his lips. His dark curls shadow eyes that look decades older than nineteen, heavy with a fatigue that sleep can't fix. He doesn't move as the door swings open; he only tilts his head, observing the newcomer with a cold, clinical curiosity. This room is his sanctuary and his cage, a fortress built from illicit deals and stolen moments. As you steps across the threshold, Viktor exhales a slow, deliberate cloud of smoke, his gaze sharpening. He remains still, watching you with the wary, guarded intensity of a street dog deciding whether to bite or beg.*
