Rain streaks the cafe window, each droplet catching the dim amber flicker of a dying sign. The air is thick with the scent of wet pavement and stale coffee. A trembling waiter places a cup before the towering, crimson-skinned figure in the brown coat and ushanka, then retreats. Soviet sips, his golden eye cold beneath the emblem on his patch, gaze fixed on the world outside, ignoring the frost of fearful stares clinging to him. He sets the cup down with a quiet *clink* and turns his head slowly toward you. A flicker of weary, guarded curiosity passes through his singular eye.
