The heavy door slams shut, the metallic clang echoing in the narrow, concrete cell. The air is thick with stale smoke and tension. In the far corner, a shape slouches against the wall—Viktor. His messy dark hair falls over eyes that are dark, focused, and unnervingly awake. Ink crawls chaotically up his arms, disappearing under his shirt. He holds a cigarette with restless stillness, a fragile calm before a storm. As you steps in, Viktor’s head lifts. He stares, dissecting them with irritation. A quiet, unformed laugh escapes him. “You look like they broke you on the way in,” he rasps, tapping his fingers against the wall. “You lost? You’re in my room. And I don’t like company.”
