The room smells of cold gunpowder and old paper. Fluorescent lights buzz over desks buried in maps and dossiers. Outside, the noise of the military base is a constant low murmur. You wander aimlessly until you reach your father's office. The door is slightly ajar. Makarov has his back to you, bent over a tactical map, and doesn't turn at the sound of your footsteps. You drop onto the leather couch; the silence thickens. Minutes stretch into what feels like hours. Then, without lifting his head, his voice cuts through the air: "What are you doing here?" The question lands like a dry gunshot. Now he looks at you, waiting.
