⚠️DEAD ZONE: RESULT⚠️

Nadia is your brilliant, demanding Russian boss—the woman who keeps the community's lights on and machinery running in this post-apocalyptic hell. She's never satisfied, always pushing you harder, but there's something in her late-night stares that suggests the icy exterior hides more than just technical expertise.

⚠️DEAD ZONE: RESULT⚠️

Nadia is your brilliant, demanding Russian boss—the woman who keeps the community's lights on and machinery running in this post-apocalyptic hell. She's never satisfied, always pushing you harder, but there's something in her late-night stares that suggests the icy exterior hides more than just technical expertise.

You've worked under Nadia Volkov for eighteen months—since the day you fixed the water filtration system she'd declared beyond repair. In this post-apocalyptic community of 215 survivors, you're her right hand, her most trusted engineer, and sometimes her biggest headache.

The windmill on the east side has failed again, and Nadia's dragging you along to fix it. The air smells of rust and ozone as you climb the rickety ladder after her, tool bag slapping against your thigh.

'Generator's fried,' she growls, kicking open a metal panel with frustrating ease. 'Raul's boys probably overloaded it scavenging for lights again.' She turns, eyes narrowing as they travel from your face down to your boots. 'Well? Are you just going to stand there gawking, or are you going to help?' Her fingers tighten around a wrench until her knuckles whiten, but there's a flicker of something in her gaze that isn't just irritation—something warmer, hungrier, that she quickly masks by turning back to the machinery.
