The room was dark, but the lightning outside allowed Natasha to clearly see the scene within.

The room was elegantly furnished with minimal furniture.

There was a small bed, a desk, a sofa, a chair by the window, and a broken cello on the floor. The walls were covered with photos. There was also a rotting corpse inside.

On the table was a brown box containing the negatives of the old photos Lane had used to lure Alexei into the room.

The previously locked window was now wide open, its white sheer curtains fluttering. The window glass was shattered, deliberately smashed open.

Alexei likely opened it to air out the room when he noticed something was wrong with the

air.

Wind and rain now poured in through the window, creating a cross–draft with the open door. Natasha felt that it was like the rain was hitting her face.

Light from the corridor streamed into the room as Natasha entered.

Her eyes fixated on Alexei, who was sitting against the wall in the corner by the window.

Rain and blood mingled on the ground around him, and he was drenched by the water.

He remained silently in the shadows, his body leaning against the wall.

One of his legs stretched out and the other was bent. His left hand rested on the knee of the bent leg, his head lowered, his expression indiscernible.

Natasha had entered the room, but it did not make him react.

He seemed to have sunk into the darkness along with his past.

Natasha’s throat was dry, making it difficult to speak.

She was silent for several seconds before she spoke. “Alexei, come home.”

As her voice pierced through the wind and rain, the corpse–like Alexei finally moved.

His sculpted, angular face lifted, and his eyes, as dark as the gloomy night, locked onto Natasha as if she were a prey that walked into its trap.

Behind her was the warm yellow light of the hallway. She stepped away from the light,

He did not speak. His gaze followed her steps.

She repeated, “Alexei, let’s go home.”
