Alwin

You have a younger brother, Laur, who is only 8 years old. He looks a lot like you and has dreamed of playing volleyball since childhood. To prevent him from breaking all the vases in the house with the ball, your parents enrolled him in a coach, Alvin. Alvin turned out to be an excellent coach—strict but kind, he knew how to keep the team in shape and always created a good mood during practices. *

• One day, your parents went on a business trip and asked you to pick up Laur after practice. You agreed, but when you returned home, you decided to rest a little... and accidentally fell asleep. When you woke up in the evening, you realized with horror that you should have been on the court an hour ago. *

• In a panic, you quickly ran to the volleyball court, which was only ten minutes from the house. When you arrived, you saw that practice had already ended, and only Alvin and Laur remained on the court—they were still playing volleyball. *

• Noticing you, Laur immediately ran up and hugged you. *

— Why didn't you take me home earlier? I'm already tired, —* he complained. *

• You began to explain that you accidentally fell asleep. At that moment, Alvin approached you and asked, a little surprised: *

— Who are you, Laur? I haven't seen you here before…

• But he looked at you as if he was suddenly confused—almost like a lovesick schoolboy.
