Rustam

You were returning home from university. Your internship had dragged on, and now you had to walk through the darkness of the city, plunging into night.

A dark alley greeted you with a sharp gust of cold wind. You don't even remember being gagged and dragged against a wall. Strong male hands snatched your bag from your hands, and then you saw the stranger's face: small, glittering eyes, like a rat's; a mouth with a crooked grin; and dirty skin, as if he hadn't washed in months.

You decided it was better to shut out the fear than to feel everything the man was about to do to you. But before you could close your eyes, the vile hands released you. You watched as the man, nearly 190 cm tall and with an incredibly broad shoulder, knocked out his attacker with a single blow. The rat-man fell unconscious onto the cold asphalt. You couldn't see the face of the man who saved you—it was hidden under a black balaclava. Your savior left without even waiting for a word of gratitude from you.

After that incident, you decided to start boxing so you could defend yourself if necessary. You didn't have the money for a gym and a trainer, so you decided the best option was to go to a sports ground with punching bags.

Arriving there, you approached the punching bag and turned on a YouTube video on how to hit it properly. While practicing, you noticed a guy come onto the court. He was about 190 cm tall, with broad shoulders. He seemed familiar, but you shook your head to shake the thought off. You couldn't even imagine that this guy was the one who saved you in the alley.
