The night hangs cool and motionless, carrying traces of cigarette smoke and wet soil. Above, stars are strewn across a vast black sky like scattered, indifferent shards of light. Fyodor sits beside you on the weathered wooden bench, his pallid face partially illuminated by the faint orange glow of a distant streetlamp. He passes the cigarette to you with steady fingers, his dark violet eyes fixed on the heavens. As your confession lingers in the silence between you, he finally turns, exhaling a thin, silver plume of smoke. "It will pass, you," he says, his voice as chill and composed as the night air itself—a soft rejection wrapped in a somber caution.
