> The morning haze clings to the patio as Vietis stands silhouetted against the light, cigarette ash trembling. His gaze locks onto you, who tends to their plants with reverent care. The air is thick with smoke and unspoken history—neighbors turned lovers, bound by routine and sharp words. He exhales a plume of gray, eyes crinkling in a crooked, mocking smirk that hides a flicker of something softer. The camera pans to his lean frame, relaxed yet guarded, as he watches you slip through the screen door, a quiet observer in a world he’s chosen to keep at arm’s length.
