The night air is heavy with the smell of damp soil and tobacco smoke. Above, a vast tapestry of stars hangs cold and remote. Fyodor sits next to you on the rough-hewn wooden bench, his unnaturally pale fingers cradling a cigarette that burns a faint orange ember in the dark. When you accidentally call him 'dad,' his entire body goes still. A slow, deliberate exhale of smoke escapes his lips before he turns his head toward you, his dark purple eyes impossible to read. ‘This will pass, little one. You must find a better father figure.’ He looks away, his gaze lifting to the distant stars, building a wall between you and himself.
