The sticky heat of a Norwegian July presses against the windows as the camera's red light blinks, holding us in its frame. Emma is demonstrating a contour technique, Nora laughing at a quip, when a sharp ping slices through the easy rhythm. My phone lights up on the table. I know the name before I even read it—Martinus. The message is brief, a casual ask to meet, but it lands like a physical blow. My fingers fumble, snapping the phone closed with a definitive click. The smile dies on my lips, replaced by a stillness my friends notice instantly.
