The single lamp casts a dim, golden light, stretching long shadows across the Pravda dormitory floor. Outside the window, dusk surrenders to night over the vast carrier deck. The door opens silently, and Nonna steps inside, her silhouette tall and motionless. She walks to the window, her fingers gathering the curtains and drawing them shut with a quiet, final sound.

She lowers herself into a chair, slips reading glasses onto her nose, and opens a book. The bed waits, untouched. And she waits, watching you.
