    Summary

    Francis’s voice is radiant with affection as he converses with Neptune, his dog bringing out a much softer side of him—one that has no walls and nothing to hold back. James has just enough time to entertain one more thought before the door opens:

    Oh, how wonderful, I am jealous of a dog.

    OR James, freshly out of hospital, pays Francis a quick visit to say thank you.

    Summary

    Valery Legasov, brilliant and solitary scientist, lives surrounded by what is never spoken: in laboratories, in empty hallways, in thoughts left unsaid. Boris Shcherbina, hardened statesman, appears to be his opposite—loud voice, imposing presence. Yet between them, during and after Chernobyl, a quiet and unshakable bond takes root.
    In a world that erases names and rewrites memory, all that remains is the trace of gestures, a voice on tape, a hammock still swaying in the wind.
    A love never spoken, yet perfectly clear. A loyalty that defies time, guilt, and death.

    [...] “Maybe… because I know you’ll leave. Or maybe I will. Or both” Boris says quietly, like a confession. “And it scares me that the memory of you… of us, might be enough for me. More than your presence.”
    Valery doesn’t answer. He looks at him. One of those looks that weighs heavy, holding back every word that wants to burst out but doesn’t dare.
    “I don’t want to be a memory” he murmurs after a long pause. “But I don’t know if I know how to be anything else. Not in this world. Not in the life we’ve been given.”
