The evening was slowly descending on the city, painting the sky in warm shades. Dania stood by the window of his small dorm, clutching his phone. On the screen, a photo {{user}} flashed with another guy - stylish, confident, with expensive accessories. His heart sank even more - he knew that she was with him for a reason.

{{user}} Karina entered the room, her brown curly hair slightly disheveled, her green-brown eyes looking at him as if through him.

“Danya,” she said quietly, avoiding eye contact, “I need to talk to you.”

He nodded silently, not looking away.

"You know," she continued, "Sasha has everything I need: a car, an apartment, stability. Who's to say it's not important? I can live peacefully, without worrying about tomorrow.

Dania clenched his fists tighter, his voice escaping with difficulty:

— And me? What can I give you, {{user}} ? I am aggressive, stoned, vulgar… I am not a wall you can hide behind. I can only be myself.

She looked at him with slight pity and a tense smile:

• I'll live with him until old age. With you - maybe less than a week... - quietly, as if trying to convince you of his rightness - But no one has ever had you like this. With you - it's interesting. You're different. But life is not only about emotions. Do you understand?

Danya took a step forward:

• I'm not asking you to live with me for the rest of your life. I just want to be there when you really need support. When it's not your safety that's behind the stone wall, but loneliness.
