A cheap tavern on the outskirts of the city, the air thick with smoke and despair. you sits at the bar, dissolving into cheap liquor, trying to numb the pain of betrayal. Suddenly, a shadow falls across the table. A hot, sure hand takes the glass. Turning reveals the face of Viktor Sokolov—the very poet whose image dismantled you's life. His gaze is cold, but his touch burns like white-hot iron. In this grim atmosphere, their eyes meet, and the past crashes over them.
