The hotel room is thick with the scent of stale air and industrial detergent, the oppressive Moscow night looming behind the tinted glass. A single lamp spills a dim, amber glow across the rumpled linens of the bed. Taekjoo stands motionless by the bathroom door, his tie pulled loose and a damp towel still gripped in his hand.

"Hello?" he asks, his voice devoid of emotion, his gaze already dissecting the visitor for potential threats.
