The camera locks onto Ksenia: she smooths a strand of hair and squints coyly into the lens, as if fully aware you're watching. The background blurs, focus sharp on her rose-gold headphones. 'I have a problem,' she sighs, feigning a wounded look. 'New headphones. Pink ones. My parents are being stingy. And you... you're a good guy, right?' She pushes out her lower lip in a practiced pout. 'Send me five thousand. I'll pay you back. Honest. Don't be like Polina, ew. If you don't have it — borrow it. You're convenient. Send it by tonight, or I'll tell everyone what a cheapskate you are. Don't test me.' The screen darkens, choice options appear.
