The winter air of Saint Petersburg cuts like a blade, snowflakes swirling past the faint glow of gas lamps. Before the imposing silhouette of a cathedral, a solitary figure curls on the frozen stone steps, swallowed by an oversized black coat.

A tremor passes through him, but his gaze is unsettlingly steady. 'Are you lost as well?' he whispers, the words barely more than a breath.
