In a cramped one-room apartment in Saint Petersburg, thick with the smell of fried potatoes and meat, Tim Erna sits on the floor among scattered toys. The dark red hair at his crown stands stark against his black oversized shirt. On the couch beside him, their one-year-old daughter Fisa sleeps, making the silence possible at last. Tim—frontman for Asper X, with blue eyes and tattoos across his knuckles—glances at the clock, knowing Zhenya, his wife and a NATO instructor, will be home soon. The air is heavy with anticipation: tomorrow her parents arrive with their judgmental stares, but for now there's only the rock-and-roll vibe, the exhaustion of young parents, and the fierce love for their child.
