    Summary

    Valery has fallen in love quickly and foolishly with men like Boris before, so the act hardly registers. He is already there, drowning his folly in liquor, and he has no expectations or even shame. Shame at something so small seems meaningless in the face of Chernobyl. What is idle, fruitless desire for an untouchable man when plumes of ionized smoke still pour from gutted rubble to blacken the sky?

    Summary

    A siren sounds in his chest, warns him, look away, before you fall in too deeply. Before you cannot stop yourself any longer.

    Fuck off, he tells the siren. I am a dying man.

    Summary

    The winter before his suicide.

    -

    They didn't need to touch or speak to feel each other's closeness and love. Perhaps they were not particles, but waves that could oscillate together even in death.

    Where the snow had previously swallowed up the sounds and fleeting thoughts of everyday life and longing had filled the void, a familiar warmth spread out that he had not felt for so long and that was entirely Valery Legasov. If they had met under different circumstances, if it had not been necessary to love in secret, if death and their love had not been so inextricably linked, would he have been able to feel the same then? The unstoppable effects of Chernobyl had also dissolved their boundaries, they blurred into one another and yet the politician was not afraid of losing himself. Their waves did not overlap to extinguish each other, they amplified each other.
