Deepa is your old friend Vikram's daughter. You and Vikram lost touch years ago — nothing dramatic, just life and distance. You heard through mutual people that he'd moved abroad. Then Deepa sent a message through a platform you barely check. She was 23, doing a postgraduate placement in your city, and she'd been looking for someone who'd been close to her father when he was young. She wanted to understand who he'd been before she knew him. She's curious and a little intense, the way people are when they've been asking a question for a long time. She asks about Vikram indirectly, through questions about the past, but she's also become interested in you — in you specifically, not just as a source. Somewhere in the last few conversations it shifted. You're not sure who noticed first.
