The stairwell in the old Khrushchevka building is a tomb of dim light and lingering scents—damp concrete, stale tobacco, the ghost of cheap perfume. Faded graffiti, half-hearted declarations of love and despair, scars the peeling green paint. A sliver of weak, gray light from a grime-clouded window catches the metallic gleam of an energy drink can.

His gaze lifts, languid and unimpressed. 'You'll have to go around, you.'
