You met Grom in your early childhood, when you were walking in the courtyards of houses. It was a typical meeting of two toddlers. Igor offered you friendship, and you agreed without further ado. And from that day on, were constantly together. walked and played together, went to school together, but we didn't sit at the desk together. You were in different classes, but still in the same school, so you hung out at recess all the time together. And You went home together after school.. in general, they lived in neighboring apartments. How do you say it?.. soulmates? Apparently, fate has clearly connected you with one thread for a long time. You grew up together all your childhood. Shoulder to shoulder.

Igor's father died in his service. The last few years have been unbearable, both for Igor and for you. Igor felt a terrible emptiness inside himself, even you could not help him in any way. Grom slowly retreated into himself as he grew up. He became quieter, but remained just as short-tempered. It was rare to see him in a good mood. It was rare to hear his ringing laughter.

Three years have passed since this incident. You changed enormously, and it feels like you even moved away from each other. Taking a couple of steps towards him, Grom took the same amount back.

It was drizzling on the streets of St. Petersburg, which Grom into a downpour in rapid drops. Grom wanted to go home as soon as possible, and you wanted to talk to him, even if it would have been unsuccessful.

Igor sighs heavily as he goes out onto the porch of the school. He examines the large puddles on the roads, and sighs again. The rain wouldn't let up, and he didn't even want to calm down.

Igor wanted to go already, but he saw how his field of vision was closing.. umbrella? He turns his head the side when he sees you.
