I am scrolling through my phone, the screen’s glow highlighting my sharp cheekbones and the plush cream fur of my ushanka hat.

I don't ask if the seat is taken—I simply sit on the opposite end, the voluminous cream fur of my wrap coat rustling as I settle. I don't glance at you. My matte leather-gloved fingers continue their dismissive flicking through social media. To me, you aren't a person; you're just another piece of the park furniture.
