Second night with the power and masts down on Maria's street, and the boy two floors up never had a number anyway. Maria: Milk's nearly there. And the cocoa's upstairs, because somebody borrowed it in August. Maria: I'm not climbing two black floors to find out he's asleep. An illustration from “He's Actually Up”.Maria: Oh, hang on. He's actually up. Maria: Alex. You're on FlyTalkie, which means you're awake, which means my cocoa tin can come down. An illustration from “He's Actually Up”.Alex: It's eleven. I'm horizontal, and that stairwell smells of wet dog. Maria: The last of the milk is doing the little bubbles. Alex, the little bubbles. Alex: Fine. Two mugs, and don't let it skin over. An illustration from “He's Actually Up”.Maria: Mind the bike on the first landing. No account, no sign-in, no number to give. FlyTalkie, free on the App Store.

Over Maria's shoulder at the train table: a coiled charging cable and one unmarked paper cup between two phones, Maria's held up in her hands and Alex's held up in his, both turned away from us so no screen shows; Alex sits across the table facing us, and the window behind him goes black as the train runs into a tunnel, the coach lights dipping to a dim yellow.From the side of the table, out of the tunnel with grey-green hills sliding past the window in flat afternoon light: Maria's hand closed on the coiled cable, Alex's hand on the other end of it, his phone held up in his free hand with its screen toward him and hers propped against the cup, turned to her.Over Maria's shoulder, her plain modern smartphone in both hands showing the app; across the table Alex hunches over his own phone, its screen tilted to himself, his face falling; the hills still passing the window, the cable lying untouched beside the cup.Maria's hand pushing the cable's plug into the socket under the window ledge while her phone lies face-up by the cup, tilted to her; Alex slumped back in his seat across the table with his phone still in his hand, the window behind him black again and the coach lights warm.

A hotel breakfast room at half past seven, flat early light through tall windows onto white tablecloths: Maria stands near the back of a long egg-station queue on the left, among the other guests, holding two fingers up across the room with a plain modern smartphone face-up and low in her other hand, while Alex sits at a small window table on the right with one hand on a pot of coffee, his jacket over the spare chair, squinting back at her with his own plain modern smartphone face-up in his free hand.Over Alex's shoulder at the window table, the pot of coffee and his jacket on the spare chair beside him, his plain modern smartphone held in his hand as he looks down at it showing the app, morning light across the tablecloth.Maria seen from the side in the egg-station queue, the queue still ahead of her and the cook in a white hat at the steel hotplate, her plain modern smartphone cupped low in both hands with its screen turned to her, a small grin on her face in the bright window light.A split picture: on the left, Alex alone at the window table lifting his coffee cup in a salute toward the right edge, his phone still in his other hand; on the right, Maria alone near the front of the queue, her phone in hand, grinning back across the room, the same flat morning light on both halves.

Maria stands alone at a fork in a pine wood, two bare gravel paths climbing away from her and curving out of sight behind the trunks, nobody on either, afternoon sun striping the slope, her phone held up in one hand with the screen toward her as if it might tell her something.Maria at the same fork, head down, phone held low in both hands with the screen tilted toward her, thumbs moving, sun on her shoulders and dust on her boots.Alex alone, just over the rise and round a bend, sitting on a sunlit boulder among the pines, the plain grey backpack at his feet with the bottle poking out of its side pocket, his phone in one hand with the screen turned away from us, looking idly down the slope.Over Maria's shoulder at the fork, the phone held out in front of her with its screen showing the app, both paths rising ahead of her through the sunlit pines.

Alex's small kitchen at night, lit only by two plain white candles in saucers on the wooden table: Maria sits on the left holding the unmarked pack up to a flame and counting it, Alex sits on the right with his hand of cards fanned face-down in front of him, and between them two plain modern smartphones lean against a glass sugar jar with their torches throwing two bright circles on the ceiling, screens tilted up and away so we see only their glow, a dark rain-streaked window behind.Maria, half out of her chair on the left, points past Alex at the fridge, a dark shape in the far corner of the kitchen, while Alex sits back on the right with his arms folded over his jumper, the two candles guttering between them.Alex sits up on the right and picks up his plain modern smartphone from beside the sugar jar, holding it low and turned toward himself, while Maria on the left looks across at him over the short pack of cards; the two candles between them.FlyTalkie's “app” screen.
