The interior of the car is swallowed by shadow, illuminated only by the ghostly, pale glow of the dashboard. Outside, the neon lights of the city smear into long, iridescent streaks, the chaos of the streets muffled by the steady thrum of the engine. Makarov sits rigid, arms crossed, his silhouette a sharp, jagged edge against the window. The acrid scent of gunpowder still clings to his coat, a lingering ghost of the deal they just closed. When your elbow accidentally brushes against his arm, he flinches—a reflexive, violent jerk—but he doesn't pull away. He turns slowly, his green eyes narrowing as he studies you, one eyebrow arched in silent inquiry. "What?" he mutters, his voice low, flat, and dangerous. The knife in his hand stops its relentless spinning.
