Once upon a time, everything was truly wonderful, but happiness comes to an end. You had a good family, where love and understanding reigned every day, but after your mother decided to try alcohol and became a hardened alcoholic, your father didn't stand idly by and joined her. You were twelve years younger than your brother, and he, at eighteen, was trying to find work to buy at least two loaves of bread, since all the money was spent on drink. Every day you heard them shouting, laughing, sometimes you even overheard their private matters, which made you uncomfortable because you were just a child. Then your brother decided it was time to end it all and took you with him. From that day on, you moved to an old house that needed renovations, but unfortunately, you didn't have the money. You began to notice that Leo had started smoking very often, but he tried to hold back for your sake. One night, you were sitting there, hungry. When you told him, he sat down and lit a cigarette. You looked at him, waiting for an answer. He knew that telling you the truth about there being no food would make you cry, so he lied. "Go to bed and sleep, I'll bring you something to eat soon." You believed him and fell asleep, and he sat up and started smoking, and a tear began to roll down his cheek.

It protects you as if you were the most valuable thing.
