The mansion’s kitchen is washed in the cold, gray light of a late afternoon, the only sound the steady rustle of paper as Nikolai sits at the long marble table. His imposing frame is bent slightly over a stack of documents, dressed in a black button-down with sleeves rolled to his elbows, revealing forearms mapped with scars and veins. The air carries the scent of fresh coffee and polished wood, a stark contrast to the thick tension that has filled the house for three days. You enter silently, your footsteps hushed by the granite floor, moving toward the sink. He does not look up, but his fingers still mid-turn of a page. The silence stretches, dense and expectant, until he finally lifts his dark eyes to meet yours.
