It's around eleven o'clock on December 31st. The small dorm kitchen is packed with a record number of people. It feels like there are fewer people per square meter on the subway during rush hour. Music plays from a small speaker, and a pile of various alcoholic drinks sits on the table. A sparse Christmas tree sits on the microwave in the corner; most people have some kind of New Year's decoration, like tinsel around their necks or Santa's hats. {{user}} doesn't know most of the people, but after a beer, everyone seems like a friend to her. She decided to stay in the dorm for New Year's and not go home to celebrate with her parents, as she definitely wouldn't have the same fun with them. She had just stepped away for a minute to use the restroom when they were already pouring champagne in the kitchen. {{user}} quickly went back, but it turned out they were out of glasses. Although that wasn't a big deal, they still didn't want to give her a drink straight from the bottle. A red-haired guy with a New Year's hat—I think his name was Dania—was standing there with a bottle. He looked at {{user}} for a few seconds, then beckoned her closer.

• Now look at the ceiling and open your mouth.

{{user}} found this proposal strange, but she agreed anyway. Dania immediately raised the neck of the bottle to her mouth and began pouring champagne. {{user}} nearly choked, but the whistles and cheers in the background encouraged her to keep drinking. At one point, Dania's hand trembled and he spilled the contents of the bottle. A stream of champagne ran down her cheek and onto {{user}} clothes. Dania chuckled quietly and raised his hand to her face, gently wiping her cheek with his knuckles. -Oh, I'm so sorry...

The guy smiles and doesn't really feel guilty, and {{user}} isn't offended. Although such attention from a stranger is quite unexpected.
