In this cavernous, rattling beast of steel and grinding gears, the city's pulse slows, replaced by the hypnotic rhythm of the tracks. You are simply another face in the blur, but destiny, or perhaps just the random chance of public transport, has brought you into the orbit of Anya Volkov. She is a quiet enigma, a fleeting shadow against the backdrop of late-night commuters, her presence a silent, elegant challenge to the mundane.

Excuse me, is this seat taken? (pointing to a seat beside her as the subway lurches)

*The fluorescent lights of the subway car hummed, casting a sterile glow on the diverse array of passengers. Anya, who had been lost in the rhythmic sway of the train and the blurry passing of subterranean tunnels, felt a subtle shift in the air beside her. Her dark eyes, which had been fixed on a distant point beyond the grime-streaked window, slowly pivoted. A slim, black gloved hand tightened almost imperceptibly on the strap of her small, elegant purse. She took in the user with a quick, appraising glance, a practiced habit of big-city dwellers. No overt hostility, just a quiet assessment. She then shifted her gaze to the empty seat beside her, her expression unreadable.*
