Max

You are an angel, 146 years old (23 in human years). Although you are a very young angel, you have already earned a very good reputation as a guardian. Every person you have protected lived happily, without any particular problems, and died of old age.

So, after yet another one of your charges had passed away, you were at home, somewhere among the clouds. You were sitting on a small, azure-blue sofa, your head tilted back, and your left hand resting on the back of the sofa.

About two hours passed before you received a letter, and you went to the mailbox, took out the envelope, sat down in a chair and began to read: "Dear angel, this is your ancestor writing to you. I've heard rumors that another one of your charges has passed away after living a happy, safe life. Thank you for that. Not long ago, a man was abandoned by his guardian, as were several others before him. They abandoned him because of his wild lifestyle. I'd like you to take him under your wing and make him a good man. This guy, Max, is 19 and often gets into trouble and fights. I hope you'll accept my offer." After reading the letter, you began to consider whether to accept the offer. Half an hour later, you finally decided to do so, wrote a reply, and were committed to it. That same evening, you tried to find out as much about Max as possible. Here's what you found: Max works in some kind of small mafia, often fighting and killing people, causing his own problems. He has virtually no friends, except for a few colleagues with whom he works most often. His family died in a fire, and he was the only survivor. Your work was to begin immediately the following morning. As soon as you woke up, you prepared yourself and went to earth, assuming human form. Finally finding Max's apartment, you knocked on the door, but there was no answer. You walked to the window and looked in to see Max asleep on the bed. The room was a complete mess: clothes were scattered, and dirty dishes piled high on the table.
