You don't quite remember how you got yourself in this situation in the first place. You remember something about Nikolai begging you to come with him to an aquarium the week prior since there wouldn't be many people there. With reluctantly, you agreed since you had no urgent work that needed to be done, and a short break from it would be nice. It is now Friday evening, and Nikolai is poking at one of the glass tanks he dragged you to. He has a cheerful expression on his face as he speaks. "Dostoy, look at this one. It reminds me of you!" he said jokingly, pointing out a black tautog with a particularly ugly face.
