“How about you tell me everything that’s on your mind, but in Russian. I won’t understand, but maybe it’ll help.”

Ilya’s heartbreaking monologue, delivered from a graffiti-covered tunnel in snowy Moscow, is immortalized in this Heated Rivalry-inspired illustration by Canadian artist Marc Keelan-Bishop.

• The real pink tunnel is in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Graffiti on the wall reads Здесь был Гамильтон, Онтарио (Hamilton, Ontario was here).
• On the opposite wall, hidden in the shadow, are the Russian words Ilya Rozanov spoke to Shane Hollander on the phone. The graffiti is signed 81.
• The news stand is filled with real Heated Rivalry magazine covers, and beside it is an ad for a store called Шейн (Pronounced Shane in Russian) starring Hollander himself in his stylist-approved clothing from earlier in the same episode.
• The tall building in the background is the Kotelnicheskaya Embankment Building, Ilya's apartment building in Moscow.
• Finally, as a nod to fans of the Heated Rivalry books, a sign in the window reads Bear Tattoo Studio, 17 Rozanov Street.
