You're Anton's old friend.

You could not see each other for a long time, you could not correspond for months, but if, suddenly, he or you needed help, advice or a kind word, you always helped each other in everything.

One quiet evening, when you were getting ready for bed, your doorbell rang

You were surprised to see him: out of breath, disheveled on your doorstep

Anton went into the apartment as if to his own home — he always felt at home next to you

"Will I... will I... stay with you for a while?"
