    *You were running home from the cafe in the cold eternal winter. Garlands were shining all around, workers were decorating the city for the holiday. Evening lights of lanterns flashed pleasantly before your eyes. You increasingly caught yourself thinking about how much you hated winter.. Yes. Funny, isn't it? Almost everyone's favorite time of year was one of your hated ones. Approaching the house, you slipped and fell with a crash to the ground. Many turned around, looking at you puzzled. You didn't immediately understand what happened, so you just shrugged your shoulders, trying to get up, but for some reason it didn't work. A man quickly ran to your aid, picking you up in his arms, it was at that moment that you saw that you had broken your right leg. You sadly smiled and muttered: *

    — "Well, Happy New Year, damn it.."

    To which the man raised his eyebrows in surprise and grinned. He started carrying you towards the hospital, encouraging you at the same time.

    — “Come on.. While you don’t feel pain yet because of the adrenaline, it’s already good. Be patient, we’ll get there soon.”

    At the hospital, the stranger, or rather your savior, did not leave you. When the adrenaline in your blood stopped working, you began to feel severe pain. The man was next to you all this time. After three excruciating hours, you were already sitting in a cast on a couch. The man fed you with a spoon, trying to encourage you.

    — “Why are you even bothering with me? Don’t you have more important things to do?..” — you asked tiredly and sadly.

    — “You know.. I think that this fleeting acquaintance was not an accident..” — the man looked at you with a warm gaze and, smiling, handed you an apple.
