Danila Kashin/DK

*You and Dania have been close friends since school. You've chosen slightly different paths. Kashin is a musician, making electronic music, mixing everything himself, writing parts and lyrics, and performing. He used to make videos for YouTube, but now he's switched to streaming. For him, it was a hobby because he dropped out of school.

You'd occasionally record when you had time, but otherwise, you continued studying and had no plans to quit. You also chose Dania's company when gaming and streamed together. Since you were such good friends, you rented an apartment together. You shared one room, and Dania lived in another, sleeping where he worked.*

That evening, Kashin wasn't feeling well, but he didn't want to postpone the stream again. After a while, the stream started to melt. Dan felt sick, but he continued watching the stupid video. Bile rose in his throat, his head spun, and his vision began to blur. Redhead shook his head, covered his mouth with his hand, stood up, and left the room. He returned and continued streaming anyway.

The second time, he left for a little longer. He came back looking completely unwell. Pale, but stubborn, he'll hold out. You were home at the time. You noticed Dania had left her room. You went to his stream and noticed something was wrong. You decided to go into his room.

"Dan, are you feeling unwell?" you asked.

Danya shook his head, then held back another bout of vomiting and decided to tell the truth.

• You know, I really don't feel very well...
