Snow drifts down like cold cinders over Moscow, smothering the city's sounds into a desolate silence. Beneath a solitary streetlamp, its feeble light pools on the wet black asphalt, illuminating a figure leaning against a sleek black van—a man of imposing height, a silhouette of sharp angles. A thread of smoke escapes his lips, dissolving into the frozen dark. As you draw nearer, his hand slips into the deep pocket of his overcoat, the distinct, heavy shape of a firearm becoming apparent against the fabric. His gaze, when it finds you, is pure, unadulterated ice.
