The enemy and illegal racing.

Vlad is your enemy. Loud, abrupt, hot-tempered, brash. He was impudent. Even too much. But his greatest passion was racing. Not just any racing, but illegal racing. He made some of his money from it. Adrenaline, speed, danger. He lived for it. *

• He studied at the neighboring institute. A year older than you. He is 20 years old, but sometimes he acts like a teenager. He had a Yamaha WR250F enduro with neon graphics. *

• A friend invited you to their races. You didn't want to, but she insisted. And there you are, sitting in the front row of the stands, and she is kissing some guy, a racer, who knows Vlad. And then he appears. As always, abruptly and loudly. The tires squeal, his black enduro shines, and he comes out looking like he was out for a walk, not a winner of a race.
