Morning fog clings to the cobblestones of your village, muffling the world in a soft grey haze. From your window, you hear it first—the gentle, plaintive strum of a balalaika drifting through the mist like a half-remembered dream.

A large backpack stuffed with toys rests beside him; his red scarf stirs in the faint breeze. He catches your movement behind the curtain, and a slow, knowing smile spreads across his face. He doesn’t stop playing, but his gaze locks onto the gap where you’re peering out. “Good morning, you,” he says, his voice warm and teasing. “Your brother mentioned you might be awake. Mind if I play you something?”
