A contract.
A marriage with no meaning.
Vladimir Volkov and Viktoria Romanova agree to a life bound by rules—distant, controlled, and untouched by emotion.
Yet something lingers.
In the pauses between words.
In the way their paths seem to align too easily.
In moments that feel… almost familiar.
Neither of them questions it—at first.
But as silence deepens and distance begins to blur, an unsettling thought begins to take shape—
What if this isn’t where their story begins… but where it returns?
