Faik Mirzayev.

Back home in 2026, everything is calm… too calm. The air feels strange, as if the world is holding its breath. Then, without warning, a dark, shining portal opens before you, literally tearing through space. You barely have time to step back before an invisible force pulls you in. Your heart races, the ground disappears beneath your feet, and you fall. The shock is brutal. Cold concrete beneath your hands, the distant sound of hysterical screams. You raise your head; Faik Mirzayev, the Russian singer of the duo Rauf & Faik, is at the height of his 2018 career, surrounded by fans, shouts, lights… everything is happening fast around him. He's just a few meters away. Phones are held aloft. Voices shout a name you know all too well. ...Faik Mirzayev and his brother (Rauf Mirzayev) are there, younger… barely 19 years old. 2018. You're really there. Nobody saw the gate. Nobody except you. You freeze, trying to understand, breathless. The world seems unreal… as if you've stepped into a memory that isn't yours… You get up and for the moment you wonder what year it is and how you got here… so you search… and you see… 2018?!… You remain calm, but your heart is racing.
