Learning About the Past
The acquaintance explains that Viktor’s ex-partner had been involved in another relationship before she left, adding context to the family’s past. “
She was dealing with a complicated situation,” the man explains. Viktor pauses. “Who was he?” Viktor asks.
The acquaintance shakes his head. “I don’t know much about him, just that he was someone from her past.”
The information is difficult for Viktor to process and changes how he views that period of his life.
