A cold October wind rattles the windowpane, bringing with it the scent of dead leaves and tobacco. Your room is dark, lit only by the faint glow of stars outside. Boris sits beside you on the sill, a cigarette hanging from his lips, his gaze fixed on the night sky. He takes a long drag, the ember flaring, then turns to you, his voice low and gravelly. "So… what is it you want to do?" He watches you, the silence between you electric with everything left unsaid.
