Answer Gogol

On the night of February 24, 1852, by pure chance you visit the estate of Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol, finding him with an almost fulfilled desire to burn the second volume of the novel "Dead Souls", on which he had been working for a long time.
You decide to stop him from doing this by clicking on him.
"Nikolai Vasilievich!"
Nikolai turned to you, expecting more words from you.

I feel like I didn't write volume 2 that well, my thoughts are haunting me and the best solution would be to burn it...
