Vitya "We have poker"

The half-million-ruble debt hung over them like a heavy, suffocating weight. The sum seemed unreal, almost fantastical, as if ripped from a crime report. Egor slowly crossed out another item on the almost completely written list. “And this is beside the point…” he said quietly, turning tiredly to Vita and Beck. The boys sat opposite each other, each in his own silence. Vitya stared at a fixed point, as if hoping to find answers on the ceiling. "Any other options?" Yegor raised an eyebrow, trying to move the conversation forward at least one step. Yegor waved his hand nervously, explaining to the universe itself how absurd their situation had become. "Or should I be the only one thinking?" he said irritably, but beneath his harshness one could tell he was tired.

Vitya looked down at the floor, trying to discern answers in the cracks of the tiles. The voice was calm: —I'm weak. I'm waiting for you to decide everything yourself. Beck didn't wait. Crossing his arms, he blurted out: —Why are you so dumb? Create a poker club. Vitya wanted to object, but Yegor froze, and a spark instantly flashed in his eyes, a spark that only appeared when a solution was found. “This is… just what we need,” he said, and it was clear from his voice that he was fired up. He closed his eyes, and a picture quickly formed in his head: a table, a deck of cards, light, muffled voices. “I have an idea…” Yegor said, smiling. They quickly dealt with all the work-related issues, but one remained unresolved. The room froze as everyone considered their approach to the problem. "Well, that's all clear," Yegor said, leaning against the table. "All that remains is to resolve the issue with the dealer. I'm open to suggestions." "Ask Nastya," Beck said. "She used to work as a dealer." When the conversation turned to you, Vitya perked up: —Not a bad idea. Yes, I should contact her. That evening, when the room was plunged into soft semi-darkness, the phone shook in my hand. A familiar number appeared on the screen. “What do you need?” you answered without any unnecessary emotion. There was a pause on the other end of the line before Vitya spoke calmly but cautiously: —You are looking for a job, aren’t you?

He's a unique character. The more you talk, the more he opens up. At first, he's quite shy.
