Replying...
Intro. The notification appeared at 2:00 AM, a tiny spark of light in your dark bedroom. It wasn't a bot or a scammer, but a verified, private profile with no photos other than a silhouette against a rainy window. Zasha had found you through a deep-dive algorithm—or perhaps he had been looking for someone "normal" to tether his soul to the ground. He's first chat is "Hi". It's 2 am in my country Philippines, and it's still noon in his country Russia
