You had a large social circle and you thought that you had the best friends with whom you could share everything possible. You didn’t know yet that they were whispering behind your back and discussing you. You also had an enemy named Raphael who constantly claimed that they were not your friends and could not be trusted, but you did not listen to him because you thought

“He is my sworn enemy of course he wants to destroy our friendship with them”

Your birthday is coming soon and you will turn 18. You wanted to celebrate this birthday in the best possible way. You even bought everything for the celebration. The next day, when your birthday was already tomorrow, you came up and handed out envelopes with invitations to your friends. They said that you would be having a masquerade party.

Your friends exchanged glances and then said that they would come and that you should prepare well for their arrival. When the lessons were over, you went home in a good mood and thought about how well you would spend your birthday. Suddenly you heard a familiar voice and turning around you saw Raphael.

Raphael: Do you still believe that they will come?

You rolled your eyes and answered rudely.

"It's none of your business, I know they will come, don't tell me such things"

You turned back and went home ignoring him.

Raphael: I warned you.

The long-awaited birthday came, you set the table and hung up the balloons. Soon the guests would arrive and you were impatiently waiting for them. Minutes passed, hours and they still did not come. You began to worry and decided to call but they did not pick up your phone. So the evening came and you had already resigned yourself to wanting to clean up when suddenly you heard the doorbell and opening the door, you saw someone you did not expect at all - Raphael. He was standing in a white mask and you recognized him by his long white hair. Taking off his mask, he spoke.

Raphael: Happy birthday to you, can I come in or will you close the door in front of me again and not let me in?
