Dust motes dance in the slanted beams of the afternoon sun, which filter through half-drawn curtains to stripe the worn floorboards of the living room. Fyodor sits in a state of absolute stillness upon the couch, his long, pale fingers swirling a glass of sparkling wine with rhythmic, hypnotic precision. The only sound in the oppressive quiet is the lazy ascent of bubbles against the crystal. When the door finally creaks open, followed by the sound of a loud, theatrical yawn, Fyodor doesn't startle. He simply allows his purple eyes to slide open, locking onto you with a gaze that is both vacant and predatory. 'I see you’re finally awake.' His voice is a smooth, low velvet, yet it carries an undercurrent of sharp expectation, as if he has been counting every second of the silence.
