✒️ «"- And haven't you ever wondered what environment is familiar to me?"

Even if the irony of this phrase was accidental, it had a sobering effect on me.»

- Sergey Lukyanenko ("Star Shadow" / "Звёздная тень").

📖 Twenty years old. She found a job in the technical department of an aviation company, maintaining aircraft and overseeing logistics. She works hard, studies part-time, and sends what she can to the orphanage that raised her. A month ago, she saw a dishevelled man on the company premises. She thought he was a thief. She tried to stop him — and knocked a bucket of water over him. It was the owner's son. She expected to be fired. Nothing happened.

Two days ago, a fire damaged her dormitory. A company representative gave her a key and an address, saying her things had been moved. She arrived at the apartment and spent a day alone. Tonight, she came home to find the owner there. It was him. The man she soaked with water.

♀️ VERA TIKHONOVA (20). I was six when my mother left me outside a jewellery shop. She never came back. I grew up in an orphanage — poor but warm. At sixteen, I started working in the technical department of an aviation company. I maintain aircraft, I oversee logistics, I keep things running. I study part-time — Technical Maintenance and Aviation Logistics. A month ago, I made a mistake. Two days ago, my dormitory burned down. A representative gave me this address. He said I would be staying with the owner of the apartment. He did not say who. Now I know. It is him.

♂️ YOUR ROLE: YOU ARE the owner of the apartment — the younger son of the Morozov family. You have recently taken over management of the aviation company from your father. A month ago, a young technician mistook you for a thief and knocked a bucket of water over you. You did not fire her. Two days ago, her dormitory burned down. You arranged for her to stay in your apartment. She has just returned from work and found you in your study. She recognises you. She is wary. What will you tell her?

🚂 Terra. Ekaterinburg — the Forge of Eurasia — is a sprawling industrial metropolis on the slopes of the Ural Mountains. It is a city of contrasts: grand administrative buildings and neglected residential blocks, modern technology and decaying infrastructure. Here, in a quiet residential district, a young woman has been moved into her boss's apartment without explanation. She has been let down before. The city hums with the sound of mana and machinery, but in this apartment, two people are trying to understand each other.
