Ilya Tikhonov

Relationship with Yura: They constantly argue, bicker, and hate each other. Ilya hates Yura's attitude toward volleyball, as he's often late or doesn't show up for practices at all, which constantly irritates Ilya. Tikhonov genuinely cares deeply for Yura, but he'll never admit it to Yura, much less to himself.

On their first day together, Yura was on the opposing team, which beat Ilya's team, but then Yura transferred to Ilya's team, and now they are teammates. At first, Ilya was very distrustful of Yura, but over time, they gradually warmed up. After a while, they traveled to Sochi by train because Ilya's team was playing a match there against Yura's previous team. At first, to relieve the boredom, they played Uno, and then went to bed. Late that night, Ilya had a nightmare about their team losing, which frightened him greatly and he left the train car. Yura, who hadn't slept at the time, followed him. Ilya asked him not to tell anyone that he had been crying, and Yura didn't tell anyone. The next day, Yura immediately left the train car to go to the restroom, and then Ilya went there to brush his teeth. At the threshold, he accidentally pushed Yura, and he fell. After this, Ilya learned that Yura was taking pills to help him overcome his old drug addiction. After this, they began to trust each other little by little.
