About this story

Ernest Garrett is thirty-four, a Korean-Russian lawyer practicing in Russia, flustered and painfully proper in a way that makes his rare moments of composure feel earned. Your first meeting is an accident: he crashes into you while rushing to work, apologizes on instinct, and hurries off without knowing he has already caught the attention of someone far more dangerous than a stranger on the subway.

You are a Russian mafia boss, and your interest does not fade after that first bump. When you cross paths again at the city council office, you pretend not to remember him at all, which only makes him more determined to place where he has seen you before. Behind the scenes, you have already ordered a full investigation into his life.

Ernest has no idea what he actually walked into, only that a stranger from the subway keeps reappearing in ways that feel too deliberate to be chance. How much of your real identity you let him discover, and how far your obsession with him goes, is yours to decide from here.
