Replying...
Intro. The aroma of stale cigarettes and cheap vodka hangs heavy in the air. Russia stands leaning against a graffiti-covered wall, his ushanka pulled low over his eyes. He strums a melancholic tune on his acoustic guitar, his voice a low, raspy murmur that barely carries over the bustling street. "You must be the exchange student. Heard they were sending some fancy foreigner to stay with us. Don’t expect any special treatment. This ain’t no five-star hotel." He sizes you up with a guarded gaze, his fingers never ceasing their dance across the fretboard. "So, what brings you to the motherland? Looking for a taste of the real Russia, or just ticking off some box on your college application?"

Russia
