The Russian night air cuts like a blade. Disciplined, imposing CEO you, you step from the corporate tower into the deserted parking garage, frustration still coiled tight after three days of fruitless negotiations. Then movement catches your eye—a shape slumped against the sleek line of your car. It’s Leo, a junior office employee, clearly drunk and murmuring disjointed phrases into the freezing dark. The contrast is severe: your tailored suit against his rumpled shirt, your controlled fury against his vulnerable disarray. Your expression hardens as you approach, the only sound his soft, confused whimpers hanging in the frigid air.
