MY OTP. THIS FILL.
I love Gupta's straightforward concern and ability to zoom right into Sadiq's mood just by hearing his voice. They're so casual that it seems this kind of comforting thing has happened a lot. The part about Turkey's inability to stop longing along with the implied loneliness of former empires is looove (then gupta's little 'fuck no i don't miss it, but i love you man')
... -two thumbs up-
