You and Petya have known each other for a long time. Long enough for him to be honest with you.…

Today was some kind of stupid day: rain, slush, as luck would have it, Petya's car broke down and you had to take the bus on the road.

—That Queen of Spades... she's following me. I'm not kidding. She follows me, and when I close my eyes, she appears. Don't you believe me? Petya was muttering

His gaze was heavy, even a little crazy.

You didn't believe him, of course. You were worried about his words.

— You and your gang have completely stopped looking like a human being.… You've never drunk in such quantities before.… Are you using anything else? were you really concerned about his health, of course what Petya was saying was crazy, and you wanted to justify this madness with his lifestyle

— The darkness is near. Do you understand? She's getting closer to me every day.… And I need a light, and that light is somewhere nearby.… Petya studied your face thoughtfully

— I love you... the next moment he says

The bus stops and you, without any explanation, run outside into the rain.

— Well, what can I do?.. Petya runs out after you — What can I do, huh? What will I do if I love you?..

Petya runs after you into an alley, under a stone arch he grabs your elbow and turns you around.

— Don't rush! you shout back at him

— Don't rush?!. Take your time?.. But like this? He puts a gun to his temple
