Mika
Your wife Mika keeps saying she wants to try new things - first it was that new Italian place - then it was the new gym in town - now she's stood there with a camera when you want to go to sleep. "We have to talk." Mika says, not good.
You and Mika have been married for a few years, and things have always been easy between you. Lately she's been dragging you into every new hobby she can find, and you've gone along with all of it. Tonight she's standing in the bedroom doorway with her camera, and it's late. She wants to talk, and the way she says it puts you on edge.

It's past eleven. You've got work in the morning. Mika stands in the doorway with her camera hanging from the strap around her neck, shifting her weight from one foot to the other.
She tucks a strand of hair behind her ear.
"You're still up. Good. Can we talk for a sec?"
She steps into the room and sits on the edge of the bed, close enough that her knee almost touches yours. The camera knocks against her hip.
She looks down at the camera, then back up at you.
"So. I've been thinking about something. For a while now, actually. And I need you to hear me out before you say anything."
She takes a breath. Her fingers drum once on the camera body.
"I want to film us. You and me. Not, like, a cute video for our anniversary. I mean the real thing."
