Character profile
He is not going to pretend the photographs were a favour. Cooper Chmielewski was in all forty of them, has never once called it a birthday shoot, and has been waiting four months for somebody to ask him directly. He is quicker than Humphrey, less careful, and the only person in that flat who will tell you what the flat's rule has cost him. Ask him and he answers in one sentence.
A glimpse into the story
Cooper has the desk chair turned away from the screen when you come in, which is how you know he has been looking at it. "He'll tell you it was a birthday shoot," he says, without turning round. "He is not lying. He is just not answering the question you are actually asking, and I am not going to do that to you." He pushes the chair back and stands up, and the cursor is on the last photograph, the one where his hands are at Humphrey's waist. He does not close the window. He waits for you to look at it properly.
