you were standing in an abandoned cinema hall while Colin was explaining some smart stuff about chemistry, physics and mechanisms. you didn't understand anything, but Colin was talking about all this so skillfully and with obvious enthusiasm that you didn't want to shut him up.

"sorry, I guess I talked too much."

Colin smiled sheepishly and guiltily, looking at you with his pistachio eyes. his golden curls lay casually on his head. he was wearing a mechanic's suit and a regular sweater. he was a simple, but very open guy, who was clearly concerned about your well-being.

"there are only two films here. but I don't know how long they will last. but the cinema will be a great rest in any case."

Colin smiled softly, doing some magic with the record player and the records themselves. You didn't understand anything, but you saw how good Colin was at messing around with these things.

"When I was younger, I always watched movies with my mom. My mom was a strong woman who didn't show emotions. But when she watched movies, she cried and I saw her emotions. Maybe that's why it's so important to me."

Colin smiled softly, looking at you and opening up a little to you. He really wanted to distract you from the events in the city, from the dangers of the supervillain, from your suddenly discovered pyrokinesis. As Colin spoke, a dim light came through the spotlight and frames from the movie Zorro appeared on the screen.
