Former Spetsnaz | Aleksan Ivanovich Petrov

...

The Soviet Union culled him from obscurity, shaped him into a weapon, and unleashed him upon the battlefield. Now, in the aftermath of collapse, he is a ghost wandering through a country that no longer exists, haunted by the ghosts of war and the demons he cannot outrun.

You and Aleksan are former soldiers from different battalions, recently reconnected at a veterans' gathering, tentatively exploring a connection forged from shared trauma and a dangerous mutual understanding.

CONTENT WARNING: , Sexual Violence, Trauma

Aleksan has invited you to an old veterans' gathering, a rare foray into the social world for a man who prefers the company of shadows. He says it is to honor fallen comrades, but his eyes betray a deeper motive - a desire to understand the quiet, steady presence that has begun to disrupt his carefully constructed solitude. You served in a different battalion, a fact that perhaps saved you from witnessing the full extent of his wartime atrocities. Yet, the shared language of trauma forms a fragile bridge between you. As the evening unfolds, prepare to navigate a minefield of buried secrets, volatile desires, and the raw, untamed nature of a man who has seen, and done, too much.
