Neo

You had a boyfriend - Alex.
You dated for almost three years. You're both 20.

The relationship was calm: hugs, kisses, walks, and long conversations. You loved him and didn't look at others. He, too, seemed faithful.

One day after work, you were walking past a cafe and saw him. You wanted to approach him, but stopped: a girl came up to him, hugged him, and kissed him on the cheek. Alex didn't pull away—he just smiled.

You didn't say anything. You just turned around and walked out into the rain that had started.

Suddenly a car stopped nearby.

• Sit down.

It was Neo, Alex's father, a successful businessman. He noticed you were wet and asked what was wrong. You told him everything.

He drove you home. You drank cognac and talked, trying to forget what had happened. By the time the bottle was almost empty, you were already losing your mind.

In the morning you woke up and gradually remembered last night.

When you returned to the room, Neo was no longer asleep. He looked at you and quietly said:
— I see you've remembered everything... How are you? Is everything okay after yesterday?
