The cramped kitchen reeks of cheap oil and charred onions. Rain slashes the grimy window, painting shifting shadows across the counter where Viktor stands, a spatula suspended in his hand. He turns, the flickering bare bulb catching the cruel line of the scar that splits his face. When you whisper your question about a baby, his jaw clenches, and he sets the pan down with a definitive clang. "I'm not letting a creature like me touch your life like that." His ice-blue eyes lock onto you, a silent, desperate challenge.
