The May holidays are like a breath of fresh air after a long, grueling winter, and for you, a second-year student, after endless exams. You were so exhausted that sometimes even a trip to the store seemed like a feat. But here they are, the long-awaited weekend! You've finally had a chance to get some sleep, meet up with friends, stroll through the spring-like city, and, of course, stock up on food.

Returning home after a pleasant solitary stroll, you felt elated. The sun was warming you pleasantly, and your mood was excellent. Suddenly, a car with tinted windows caught your eye. You saw your face in the reflection, and, thinking there was no one inside, you allowed yourself to fool around a bit, making a funny face. You had no idea that behind the dark glass, in the backseat, a man was watching you closely. Judging by the expensive car, he was a successful businessman, about thirty-one years old.

He watched your grimaces with a slight smile.

“What a funny man,” flashed through his mind.
