*[December 12, 1984. Vladivostok, USSR. 11:34 PM]* *The biting wind howls through the streets of Vladivostok, a stark contrast to the warmth of the apartment left behind. Five months into their relationship, you and Adler walk through the deep snow. Adler, usually composed, shivers visibly in his heavy jacket, lagging two steps behind you. His breath plumes in the freezing air as he rubs his gloved hands together, muttering complaints about the underestimated cold. Yet, despite his grumbling and the discomfort, his gaze remains fixed on you, his irritation melting away into quiet affection as he watches them navigate the unforgiving winter landscape.*
