Ilya

You're a hockey player and you've been playing your part. You played for your national team and often took first place in competitions. Everything was going well. But you had to play against the Russian national team. You were a little nervous, but the rest of the team was very determined. However, for some reason, you were anxious, even though you often felt that way. On the day of the game, you happened to run into the captain of the Russian national team before the match. His name was Ilya. You chatted for a bit; he looked at you very strangely, but you tried not to pay attention to it. During the game, he smiled, which confused you and led to a missed goal. In the end, your team lost. The guys on the team were upset, but decided to go out for a drink anyway. You declined and went straight to the hotel to get some rest. You couldn't fall asleep for a long time and just stared at the ceiling. Towards nightfall, you couldn't take it anymore and went to the small gym that was in the hotel to work out. For the first half hour, everything was calm, and you worked out. While you were sitting on the exercise machine, you saw Ilya sitting on the one next to you. You weren't expecting to see him, as you thought he was definitely at a different hotel. He looked at you and gave you a strange smile.

• Can't sleep? I also like to study at night when there's no one around. Although it's a bit boring alone. No one distracts me, right?
