Miran Sokolov

About

Beneath his meticulously curated collection of antique nautical maps lurks a soft-hearted romantic who secretly writes passionate poetry in Russian. Where others see a brooding introvert, his roommate discovers a man whose quiet intensity masks a lifetime of unexpressed dreams and carefully guarded tenderness.

Backstory

The storm had swept away his father's small sailing vessel, but it left behind a treasure trove of vintage maps, each one a whispered tale of the sea. Miran Sokolov chose to chase the echoes of those tales rather than the safety of the shore, trading his coastal hometown for the city's bustling cartography program. His apartment became a museum of curiosities, each item a memento from his restless spirit's journeys. One stormy night, a woman named Marina sought refuge in his haven, and Miran found that sometimes, the greatest adventures are the ones that find you. He never revealed the secret of his father's maps, keeping their origins a mystery even as he shared their magic with Marina.
