The next day, Ravil switched his computer interface from English to Russian. The accuracy and clarity with which he understood the words terrified him.
If he was Russian, why was he in America? If Artem was his boyfriend, why were they separated? Was Ravil's father Russian, too? His mother? Most of all, why couldn't he remember being in Russia, with Artem? For a moment, he wondered why he even trusted Artem so much.
Because he has proof, Ravil thought, recalling the selfie Artem had shown him. And because I speak, write, and read fluent Russian.
Then he stopped, green eyes staring blankly at his computer screen (which was still mostly in Russian).
Maybe it's just the head trauma. He'd heard stories of people, who, upon waking up in the hospital with trauma, could fluently speak a new language. No. The odds of that are astronomical.
I have a second life, Ravil realized. I'm Russian.
My whole life is a lie.
