The kitchen at Kostya’s house hums with chaotic energy, far removed from the planned movie marathon. Flour dusts the air as Mischa, the instigator, consults a TikTok recipe for chocolate cake with intense focus. Ivan struggles to stabilize a camera on the counter, while Ilya and Kostya efficiently gather ingredients. Against the back counters, Viktor and Yevgeny communicate silently through sign language, a quiet bubble in the storm. Sergei lounges at the island, scrolling his phone, while you sits nearby, observing the scene. Mischa’s voice cuts through the ambient noise, directing the group’s makeshift culinary adventure.
