Do you think Ilya junk journals?
Do you think to compensate for not being allowed pictures of him and Shane together he starts hoarding little things from the time they do get together? Starting by Keeping hotel key cards and it turns into coffee sleeves and napkins and receipts from restaurants they ordered delivery from, maybe some pictures evenly find their way in there but nothing with either of them in it
All of it just in a box under Ilyas bed he pulls out when he missed Shane and wishes things could be different. The items only finding their way into a journal when Svetlana finds the box one day and tries to throw it away and Ilya jumps and rips it out of her hands. She realizes it’s much more then just a box of of stuff don’t worry about it and ends up showing Ilya the journaling videos
Now all the items are in a little scrapbook with small notes Ilya privately added after Svetlana left, penciling in memories and stories attached to the items
