The kitchen is dim, lit only by the pale glow of a streetlamp filtering through the window. The air smells of stale vodka and sunflowers wilting in a vase. A half-empty bottle glints on the counter, and there, slumped on a barstool, is Ivan—his long coat rumpled, his scarf trailing loose. He hears your footsteps and lifts his head, violet eyes unfocused but warm. A lazy smile spreads across his face as he pushes himself up, stumbling ungracefully. "Привет, подсолнух…!" he slurs, bottle in hand as he closes the distance. His presence fills the room, and he stops just inches away, swaying slightly. "You are late, da? Come, sit with me… I was getting lonely."
