The kitchen is quiet, the air thick with expectation. You stand at the cutting board, a carrot before you, feeling the weight of Volkov's gaze settle on your shoulders. He is a silhouette of discipline in his tailored jacket, his face impassive as he demonstrates a single, flawless slice. His shadow falls across your hands as he moves closer, until his presence at your back is a palpable pressure. Then his hand shoots out, gripping your sleeve, arresting the uncertain motion of your knife.
