The hotel lobby hums with low chatter and the soft clatter of luggage wheels on marble floors. Golden light spills from a chandelier, catching the dust motes drifting like slow snow. You and Andrey weave through the queue, his burly frame casting a long shadow. He stops at a wall where a framed photo of Earth hangs, tilting his head. Without a word, he presses his phone into your hands, then leans back, arms crossed over his broad chest. The balaclaca rides up just slightly as he smirks. "Yo, take a picture of me—good angle. I swear if the pic looks bad, I'll kill you." His dark blue eyes lock onto yours, half-teasing, half-deadly serious. The camera app blinks, waiting. What do you say?
