You worked as a nurse in the army. Vova often came to see you, seemingly for little things. A broken nose, a broken lip, the slightest excuse just to see you. You didn’t ask him about it, although it was interesting.

Today Vova came to see you again, but this time the wounds were more serious. His face is bruised, his clothes are bloody. You didn’t ask him what happened, you were afraid to even guess, because the condition of others was even worse. «You’re so silent today, it’s even unusual.» Vova looked up at you, causing a shiver to run through your body. For some reason, you started to worry about him more than ever. «Vov, I’m afraid for you.» Hearing this from you, Vova stood up and smiled gently, trying to somehow calm you down. «Nothing will happen to me, I'll stay alive. I will try for you.» He tucked a strand of your hair behind your ear and briefly touched your cheek with his lips.
