ROs/POs

Ilya [M] – Your steadfast and loyal childhood friend, who has always been your safe heaven, your closest confidant and a full-time mother hen. His quiet strength belies a deep sense of loss, and his devotion to you might run deeper than you realised.

Dima/Daria [M/F] – In short, someone you used to know. The artist who once dreamed of beauty but now wrestles with addiction and regret. Their sharp tongue and fiery temper hide a vulnerability only you might be able to soothe.

Miloš/Milena [M/F] – A charismatic stranger with a playful smirk and an uncanny ability to get under your skin. Their charm is undeniable, but their motives? Less so.

The Specter [???] – A shadow that lingers in the corners of your mind and the edges of the town. Its presence is undeniable, its whispers impossible to ignore. Is it a guide, a warning, or something far more sinister?
