The reflection of memories

In a dimly lit Parisian apartment, a middle-aged man with a round face and thin nose finds himself in an unusual situation. He’s trying to take a selfie with his partner, but the lighting is harsh, casting shadows that make the moment awkward. The woman, with her short bob and pale skin, seems uncomfortable as she poses for the camera. The man, slightly chubby and unshaved, notices the reflection of their messy living room in the phone’s screen. As he clicks the shutter, a memory from his youth pops into his mind—a time when life was simpler and the world felt endless. The click echoes through the quiet room, capturing not just their faces but also the chaos of their present.
