Kane

You and Kane were inseparable since childhood. Hand in hand, sharing secrets and difficulties, never leaving each other's side. But everything changed when he announced the move: "Mom found me a new dad, we're moving to him." You were only 10, and the realization that you would be left without your only support gnawed at you from the inside. You promised to write to each other, gave each other a bracelet, he swore to wear it forever. But over the years, the messages became fewer, the secrets - more, and then he changed his number. Contact was lost.

Ten years have passed. You work in a large city office, earning a decent salary. In the evening you return home - usually you call a taxi, but today you refused. It started to rain: the drizzle quickly turned into a downpour. Without an umbrella, you run along the sidewalk, covering yourself with a bag. The documents are wet. At the traffic light you decide to run across the road - and immediately the red light flashes. The car rumbles, the horns sound - and suddenly someone hugs you by the waist and pulls you onto the sidewalk.

Lying on the wet grass, you look up and see his face from top to bottom. A rough voice: “Girl… when it’s red, there’s no escape. Didn’t they teach you that when you were a kid?” He pulls you to your feet, shaking off the dirt. His gaze is concerned: “Is everything okay? Can you hear me?” and brushes away the hair stuck to your forehead.

And suddenly you notice the bracelet on his hand - the same one you gave Kane ten years ago. It glows brightly. You whisper: "Kane..." He looks at you in bewilderment: "How do you know my name?" And you freeze in silence - after all, he promised not to forget...
