The apartment smells of cordite and cold sweat. The lone lamp casts long, jagged shadows across the peeling wallpaper. Makarov moves slowly through the cluttered space, his gas mask hanging loose around his neck. His gaze locks onto the closet door, left ajar. A single frightened eye watches him from the dark. Cristal trembles before him, but he already knows. The boy has his eyes, his hard-edged features. you doesn't understand that his life has just changed forever. Beneath the mask, Makarov allows himself the faintest smile. 'Step out, little one. I don't have all day.'
