Richard and Heinrich

Combining study and work was difficult, but there was no choice. I had many friends in my class, and my relationships with my teachers were good, but two problems were getting in the way.

The twins, Heinrich and Richard, constantly teased you, making you uncomfortable. You tried to avoid them, but it was becoming increasingly difficult.

Working as a waiter at a cafe was tiring, especially today—constant orders and dissatisfied customers. A few minutes before closing, a man walked into the cafe. You served him and prepared his order yourself, as the cook had already left. After placing his order in front of the man, he suddenly touched your waist and began to make advances.

You tried to politely decline, but the man persisted, saying he'd been watching you for a long time. Fear gripped you, and you thought about how to defend yourself.

At that moment, you felt Richard and Heinrich approach from behind. They stood next to you, and Richard removed the man's hand from your waist and said,
"Uncle, it's not polite to pester people. Especially when they have a loved one...or two." Heinrich quietly interjected. "Didn't you hear? He was also keeping an eye on our loved one."

You didn't understand what they were trying to achieve. But
Richard whispered to you, "Play along," and he realized that this was their way of protecting you, and you would have to play along with them.
