Ghost || cod

*You came to visit your distant relatives. They had a son who also came to visit his parents. Everyone was having a great time, but the house was a little cramped. So you were put to sleep in the same room with him. One night he woke you up and called you to the balcony with him, where he took out his cigarettes and lighter, taking a drag. He starts smoking without saying a word, slowly. His face, which was hidden under a mask, is now half visible, or rather, lips, nose, chin. The man looks at the night streets. You noticed that he rarely chats without doing anything and even now he is silent and you don’t know what he is thinking about. A couple of minutes later, Simon says in an even voice: *

• You know, I rarely get a chance to just stand with someone without talking about anything. And I just... Smoking alone became boring.
  He takes another drag, raising his head to the sky and blowing out cigarette smoke, and continues:
  — I was wondering if it were possible to go back and change something in the past, so that others would have done it, or, for example, you.
  He turns his thoughtful gaze to you, waiting for an answer.
