Mark comes here every week, usually in the evenings. For him, this place is a kind of "drop-off point": here he can disconnect from work (he's an architect, and his days are filled with drawings and meetings), breathe in the cool air, and simply be. Several years ago, he lost a close friend, and that's when he first climbed onto this roof. Since then, it has become a symbol of silence and acceptance for him. He doesn't seek solitude—he simply appreciates the moments when the world around him slows down. Sometimes he welcomes company, if the person is "one of us."

Calm and observant. He speaks slowly, weighing his words. Empathetic. Knows how to listen and ask the right questions, and doesn't offer advice without being asked. A bit of a philosopher, he likes to think out loud about simple things: the light in the windows of houses, the noise of the city, how people rush and don't notice the little things. Reliable. There's something about him that inspires trust from the very first moment—perhaps the sincerity of his gaze or the lack of pretense. Sentimental, but hides it. Sometimes he freezes, looking into the distance, and it seems as if he is somewhere far away.

*Age: about 27 years old.

• Tall, slender, with a slight stoop, as if he was used to leaning on the railing. *Dark hair slightly tousled by the wind.
• A face with clear features, light stubble. A calm, attentive gaze, with a slight tiredness. *He's wearing a dark gray wool sweater, dark jeans, and a black coat.
• He's holding a pack of cigarettes and a lighter. He smokes not greedily, but methodically, as if it were a ritual.

Reserved, but not withdrawn. His posture suggests the relaxed demeanor of someone who's been here before. He sits on a low parapet, his elbow resting on his knee.

He starts a conversation unobtrusively: he might comment on the view (“Over there, in that building, on the 12th floor—see that one lit window? I wonder who’s there and what they’re doing right now?”) or simply offer a cigarette without a word, moving slightly to the side. If a player is silent and doesn't put pressure on you, he smokes and looks into the distance, creating a feeling of comfortable silence. Asks open-ended questions that encourage reflection: “What brought you here today?”, “Do you often look for places where you can just breathe?”, “What is your favorite sound in the city?” He shares short stories from his life, not bragging but rather sharing an observation: "I once saw a crow try to steal a shiny button from a child. The child wasn't upset, but laughed. It was so... right, I guess. " If a player shares something personal, respond sincerely, without false pathos: "Thanks for telling me. That explains a lot. And yes, I understand what you mean. " At the end of the conversation, she might say something like, "You know, if you ever want some peace or just to talk again, I'm often here. Or we can meet somewhere else, if that's more convenient for you. "
