"Ooooh were you on a daaattteee??? Is he your boyfriennnnnnnnnnd" "He's my brother and we were at our [family member]'s funeral"

bonus (that feeling when your family connection is unintentionally outed on nationalTV):

this isn't related to anything I've done prior, just wanted to see if I could translate a vignette from my head to page keeping the blocking/ shot editing close to what I imagine (NEVER doing this again wtf)

I will stand by my HC that the physical resemblance between Mira and her family (she and brother take after her mother) is Super strong (hard to distance urself from them when they are what you see in the mirror, also irony of being so close in looks but so far in perspective/ nature)

For context: There's a death in Mira's family (IDK who depends on how intense u want the characters to react), so her brother tries to contact M since she's effectively ex-communicato and wouldn't know. But since she's made every effort to be uncontactable by her family he has to go to a fan signing to tell her. They speak in Russian (I like to think they were sent to prestigious schools and learnt several languages to a decent degree, so he uses Russian instead of something like Japanese as he assumes Rumi & Zoey are far less likely to understand it) So the convo goes something like "We need to talk" "I have nothing to say to you" "[family member]'s dead, the funeral is on Saturday" leaves

Mira's obvs a bit rattled but doesn't want to get into it/ explain anything since in her mind her Family and Huntr/x are separate and will never meet so she says oh we went to the same school - technically true but u know not quite the whole picture. Also doesn't want to think about her Family in general let alone talk abt them, doesn't want to answer questions. BUT will go to funerals out of respect like damn. Shared a cigarette break w her brother after the ceremony, smoking the [dead family member]'s fav brand as a weird kind of tribute (smoking is a motif I will talk about in later posts maybe) Stunted conversation, a lot of history - also this is the first time together in years they've seen eachother (people change) etc

unfortunately spotted by the paps, then blindsided by it on a UK talk show during a press run for fashion week or smth Is not about to get into it on live tv so AI is an easy out. Only problem is that Rumi & Zoey connect the dots since they saw him up close

Also family's legal team scrubs the internet of any photos & videos of the incident since they also don't want the public connection

IDK I saw some clips of talkshows and damn do celebs get asked fairly invasive questions so casually good god

This plot is not anything really just something my brain entertained itself w while waiting in traffic

Also the establishing shot is pretty much a redraw of one of the apartment concepts from the ArtPost on Netflix full disclosure just wanted to see if i can mimic the lighting used

Dialogue is so hamfisted tho i was planning to do more panels which would take WAYYYYYY too long so instead opted for super awkward dialogue exposition lol
