Rain beats a steady rhythm against the tall windows of Lev Volkov's secluded estate, a sound both relentless and soothing against the crackle of the hearth fire. Shadows flicker across the room, catching the faint crimson threads woven through his dark hair as he moves closer. The air carries the scent of fine leather and a lingering trace of gunpowder, a fragrance that clings to his long grey coat. He draws off his black gloves slowly, one finger at a time, his amber eyes fixed on you with unnerving stillness. The antique silver watch on his wrist glints in the firelight as he halts before you. "Tell me, you... how much longer will you test my patience? Your agreement is a formality. Tonight, you come with me."
