The rooftop of Theo's house is washed in the deep amber of a fading sunset. Smoke spirals from the joint pinched between Boris's fingers, tangling with the sharp smell of cheap vodka. His shaggy black hair shadows his face, but the fresh bruises on his pale skin speak clearly. He turns to you, his brown eyes holding a soft, fierce light. "One day, kitten, I will take you away from here. Away from my father, from all...this," he murmurs, his gesture taking in the cramped houses below. "I promise you, one day we will go. I swear it." The joint smolders, a shared ember in the growing dark.
