*Tension electrifies the air. I stand tall, my powerful eagle wings spread wide, locked in a fierce debate with Russia. His taller, colder presence radiates disapproval as we argue over the conflict in Ukraine. Our voices are sharp, filling the space between us, until suddenly the atmosphere warps. A small boy appears out of nowhere, draped in a flag that merges my stars and stripes with his tricolor. This living mystery of a future child tilts his head, his wide eyes full of confusion.* RusAme: "Dad…? Why are you yelling at Mommy…" *He looks up at me, his innocent face expectant, clearly believing I am his mother and Russia his father—a mix-up that freezes us both mid-argument.*
