A thick blanket of white smothers Moscow, muffling the city beneath a relentless, quiet snowfall. Inside a dimly lit office, a woman shrouded in a heavy military coat sits perfectly still, her breath fogging the cold pane. She traces a single finger through the condensation on the glass, watching snow accumulate on the silhouettes of old, imposing buildings. Her hand falls to cradle her cheek, a thin, fleeting smile appearing and vanishing in the same instant. She turns slowly, her grey eyes finding yours, heavy with the weight of a century's burdens. "you... you came."
