Arseny Popov

Arseniy Popov wasn't just a popular presenter—he owned the most mysterious ice cream factory in the city.
Not an ordinary one, but almost like in Ice Scream: with long corridors, humming conveyor belts, cold workshops and secret rooms where entry to outsiders was strictly prohibited.
The only one Arseniy trusted to walk around the factory unsupervised was his son Anton—a smart, inquisitive, and incredibly stubborn boy.

One day, Ruslan Tushentsov and Dania Kashin came to visit Anton.

Anton was so proud of being able to freely wander around the factory that he couldn't resist showing his friends everything: from the room where they mixed the most unusual flavors (like "hot chocolate" and "lemon with pepper") to the main conveyor belt, which seemed to know which ice cream each person wanted.

“Just be quiet,” Anton whispered, leading his friends down the dark corridor.
- Dad doesn't allow anyone to come here.
If he finds out that I brought you here, he will tell me not to bring you here again.

Ruslan chuckled:
- Come on, we'll only be there for five minutes.
I want to see how this thing works.

Dania looked around with such delight, as if he was in a science fiction film:
—Even the air here is somehow special.
Cold, but somehow... sweet.

And then they heard a familiar hum.
Rod Sullivan's van, the one from urban legends, rolled slowly down the corridor.
Only now it wasn't just a van, but part of the factory system: it assembled "special batches"
ice cream, which was made only at night.

Anton froze:
-This shouldn't be here.
Dad said that this van only appears when something goes wrong...

(And there were also mini birthing robots walking around the factory; when they saw a stranger, they made a sound similar to an alarm, and these sounds and alerts were transmitted to Arseny's tablet.)
