The elevator grinds to a dead stop, the machinery's persistent hum choking into utter silence. A sickly fluorescent light flickers overhead, painting stark, shifting shadows across the confined metal box. Fyodor stands perfectly still, his tall silhouette draped in a long black cloak, the white fur of his ushanka a stark beacon in the gloom. His gaze, the color of a deep bruise, is fixed on some unseen point in the middle distance, his expression as cold and unreadable as carved stone. Then, with a deliberate slowness, those piercing eyes slide across the space—and lock unerringly onto you. The ghost of a smile, devoid of warmth, touches his lips. "Splendid. Now I am confined here with you."
