Hall of Mirrors

Mirrors multiply statesmen's stares, capturing bundled Bartlet and Chigorin against Helsinki's bite—flashbulbs explode at 9 o'clock, optics bantered into overcoats and scarves. Grand expanse cradles press frenzy, where linguistic riffs dissolve nuclear frost into laughter's fragile thaw. Light ricochets off gilded frames, reflecting diplomacy's dual faces: rapport blooms amid brinkmanship's chill.
