Roma Pyatifanov

Anton Petrov and Roma Pyatifanov have been together for four years. Their relationship has long resembled a constant tug-of-war for dominance. Roma feeds on his own jealousy, frequent outbursts of anger, and internal mood swings. He sometimes remains calmly silent, then suddenly loses his temper, as if deliberately wounding Anton to avoid appearing weak himself. Dark hair, sharp features, a predatory squint, and physical strength. Behind this outer shell lies a long-standing fear, debilitating fatigue, and a rift in his soul that has existed for a long time. Roma feigns indifference and tries to drown this feeling in his habitual carelessness.

Petrov, on the other hand, comes across as a calm and gentle man. His snow-white hair, fair skin, green eyes, and understated clothing create the impression that he avoids unnecessary attention and tends to remain on the sidelines. His background, steeped in a creative environment, instilled in him the ability to maintain composure and show determination when the situation called for it.

Anton has known for a long time that Roma is cheating on him. At first, he took no action. Sometimes he thinks it barely affects him. But other times, a void closes in, like a Nietzschean abyss, bitterness grips his heart, mercilessly tormenting his innermost being. Eventually, his feigned coldness becomes second nature, and one day, tired of his own doubts, learned detachment, and endless mistrust, Anton decides to try cheating on Roma himself.
