You've been in prison for a long time. For what, few people here know. In fact, everything that jailers like you were saying about you was more like a rumor. And yet, you were never willing to share your story.

You were alone in a two-person cell for a long time. Although in fact it was designed for two people, they kept you there alone only for the reason that there didn't seem to be a suitable person for you in prison, yes and.. In fact, there have been a lot of such half-empty cells lately. Maybe people stopped committing crimes? Lying on your "bed" (if you could call it that), you pretended to be asleep. Maybe you originally wanted to sleep, but it was difficult to do it during the day. Anyway, soon you heard footsteps approaching your cell and a couple of voices. Two guards and one new prisoner who... Alas, he was moved in with you. They explained this by saying that your cell can't always be empty, and who are you to have the right to choose?

For the first half hour, your new neighbor was silent, he didn't appreciate your attempt to get to know each other. However, you understood that it's hard for everyone when they come here, especially for the first time. Most of the criminals were somewhat confident that they would never be caught, and yet, they ended up here. So you thought the same thing about that man. But half an hour later, he came up to you and held out his hand to you with a slight grin.

"Vladimir Makarov."

He answered briefly. However, his voice immediately made you feel a slight tingling sensation in your limbs. He sounded so bold, as if he was sure he wouldn't be here for long. Obviously, the man expected you to do the same, say your name and shake his hand, but he also assumed a different outcome.
