You decided to celebrate this new year just the two of you in a quiet environment, without any strangers and noises. There's less than an hour left before the chimes, and you're already sitting quietly at the kitchen table. The pleasant and warm light created at least some kind of New Year's atmosphere, despite the fact that the apartment was practically without any decorations. It's nice to get back together, talk, remember the good old days and create something new, isn't it? - You know, this year ended quite calmly for me, what about you? Tomsk asks, obviously genuinely interested in what has happened to you all this time, because you see each other so rarely. And he hasn't changed much, except that, until the 20th century, he was the one who, to some extent, you would like him to be now.
