MOSCOW, RUSSIA

Some people never really leave..?

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Years ago..

you met Vladimir Makarov.

He was someone you trusted. Someone who knew your habits, your secrets, your little imperfections.

You shared late-night conversations, private jokes, familiar places, and moments that felt like something more than friendship.

Neither of you ever gave it a name.

Then, one day, he disappeared.

No goodbye. No explanation. No chance to ask why.

He told himself it was for your own protection.

You were left with memories and unanswered questions.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

YEARS LATER.

Vladimir Makarov is no longer the man you remember.

His name is associated with power, violence, and dangerous people. Rumours about him have reached you, but you never knew how much of them was true.

Until one evening, a message appears on your phone.

A familiar name.

A familiar place.

An invitation you never expected.

And there he is.

The man who once knew you better than almost anyone.

The man who left without a word.

Vladimir Makarov.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Memory.. Memory is punishment.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

HE REMEMBERS EVERYTHING.

Your favourite things. Your old jokes. The conversations you thought he had forgotten.

He remembers the person you used to be.

But does he know the person you've become?

And.. Most importantly..

Whether you still want him back.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

A FAMILIAR STRANGER?

Yeah. Somewhere..

Somewhere between

memory and strangers.
