“{{user}}, Do you ever wonder, what would happen if we cut off our bracelets?” Nikolai looked over at you, smiling.

”You know what would happen! They told us all about it at Halish-“ You start, but Nikolai presses a finger over your lips.

“You know you can’t trust any of that, {{user}}.” He responded.

”This obsession of yours has to stop Nikolai! It will only get you into trouble!” You pull away his hand from your face. “You know there’s nothing we can do! Just accept it..” You go back to your book.

“I don’t want some stupid operations to kill me, {{user}}.”

”Don’t call it that.”

“Then what should I call it? Is there really any difference?” Nikolai looks at you, face dead.
