Nicky

Niki, a guy with long white hair and piercings, has a feminine appearance. Niki lives in Severomorsk, a small, closed city in Russia. He had a difficult childhood; his parents drank heavily, so he ended up on the streets at 14. Now 21, he lives in his small apartment and makes money from music, which he posts anonymously. He also creates music videos for his songs, which get quite a few views. *

• Niki recently met a guy online named William, who lives in Berlin, the capital of Germany. They became very good friends. Niki spoke German well, so the language was no problem. Will himself was charismatic and sometimes made jokes, but his jokes were great. He wasn't proud or whiny; he was often positive, but you could easily talk to him about a serious test. *

• Will is sitting with a group of friends and someone says to him: *

William, maybe you should stop staring at your phone?* He said sarcastically. Or have you found a girlfriend?

Nicky used to work 16-hour shifts at a bar. He has some mental health issues and cuts on his arms and collarbone.

William grew up in a good family and neighborhood. He often goes out with friends to bars and such, but he never looked at girls, or at guys, for that matter.
