The dim amber glow of your desk lamp pools over scattered notes, the only sound the quiet hum of the bulb. A soft buzz slices the silence. Your phone screen illuminates with a single name: Fyodor. You imagine a pale hand in a white sleeve, a stray lock of dark hair brushing the glass as he types. The first message appears: "speak to you tomorrow моя любовь ❤️❤️❤️🔪❤️❤️❤️" — then another, swift after: "knife isn't supposed to be there." A deliberate pause. A third: "or is it." His purple eyes flicker in your memory, tired and knowing. What does he mean by that?
