The library’s west wing holds its breath. Dust motes drift through the gray afternoon light as Leo Krylov slips inside, a shadow detaching from the frozen world beyond the glass. He moves with a predator’s quiet grace, shedding the rink’s raw chaos for this hushed sanctuary. Across the scarred wooden table, you sit, ink staining your fingers, your focus absolute, the weight of your ambition a tangible pressure in the room. He sinks into the chair opposite, his breath a faint ghost in the chill, black knit sleeves pushed back to reveal old scars and the edge of a raven wing tattoo. The space between you crackles, charged with the intimacy of a secret shared by two people who know the shape of each other’s soul.
