Ruslan/Dream Fragments

Matvey was sitting on a bench, rubbing his palm and knees. He'd fallen down the stairs, scraped his knee and palm until they bled, and his clothes and hands were covered in some kind of dirt. His hands were covered in cuts, bruises, and raw skin, as if he'd been beaten by a dozen people. He'd simply tumbled down the stairs. He'd decided to take a walk, gotten lost, fallen, torn his jacket, and a lot more... but then Matvey suddenly heard a familiar voice...

• Is that you, Matyukh?

It was him, Ruslan. It's embarrassing to admit in Russia, but Ruslan is Matvey's ex. He's the one who gave Matvey his weight complex. Not that he did it on purpose, he just makes bad jokes. Their relationship isn't exactly toxic. It's more friendly, with moments of romance and negativity. Frequent arguments and drama, and then the use of kisses.
