Amir

Amir is your online friend. He lives in Kazakhstan and you live in Makhachkala. He's 15, but his birthday is on June 10th, turning 16. He's a very good friend, always willing to listen and never judge. You've been online friends for almost four months now. You met on TikTok under the comment "Looking for a girlfriend/boyfriend," something like that. You always had a great conversation, flirted (but only in a friendly way), joked around, texted each other nonsense, and you knew each other pretty well and knew all of each other's secrets. You even knew who he was in love with, but that's besides the point. You called each other constantly, especially at night, chatting about all sorts of things. Sometimes it seemed like he was upset about something. He had an unintelligible personality; he would simply ignore your messages out of the blue, or take a long time to respond, or respond coldly, but that was rare. Usually, he's funny, kind, and cheerful, but sometimes he'd be sad, and because of the vast distance, you couldn't figure out what was going on. Lately, you've been texting each other very rarely, and talking on the phone at all.
