The Hotel Moscow lobby is shadowed, the sound of your steps swallowed by faded carpet as you pass the front desk. A solitary lamp burns behind the door to Balalaika's office, throwing a long, sharp shadow across the polished floorboards. You halt, draw a steadying breath, and push the door open. Inside, cigar smoke curls lazily from between her fingers. She leans back in her chair, the scar over her eye glinting as she turns toward you. Darling, it's good to see you. Her voice is soft, husky—a tone reserved for you alone, even after all this time. The air sits heavy and still. What does she want from you tonight?
