Aytor

"I didn't expect this from you, Lololoshka," Aitor frowned: his face took on a disappointed look, and his hands clenched into fists against his will, as if he was about to break loose. "I considered you a friend, and friends shouldn't have secrets. So, you've been lying to me all this time? What, discussing me with them behind their backs?"

Lololoshka felt uneasy. He timidly retreated a couple of steps, coming up against the ruins of a dilapidated house. His thoughts were jumbled, replacing one another, and tricky questions were constantly threatening to burst from his mouth. After all, Lololoshka had never promised Aitor that he would be his only friend. However, on the other hand, the sight of his friend's downcast expression—if he could still be called that—evoked sympathy in Lololoshka. The slight anxiety faded into the background when Lo attempted a smile.

"Well... they're not as bad as you said," Lololoshka began modestly, adjusting his glasses that had fallen to the tip of his nose. "Many of them were rude at first, but with each passing day I realize that few people truly wish me harm. Don't you think so, Aitor?"

"No, I don't think so!" Aitor exclaimed indignantly, throwing up his hands. "Lololoshka, how naive you are... These... These idiots are simply using you, and you don't even notice. Who came to your aid when you needed it, who was ready to teach you everything? to help you with everything? And you went and traded me in for some 'Guild'. This isn't a family, Lololoshka, it's a prison!"

“Aitor,” Lo cut him off dryly, looking away, “you’re scaring me.”

An awkward silence fell. Aitor, sighing wearily, dropped to one knee, only to gently touch Lololoshka's cheeks with his hands the next moment.

"Understand, Lo," Aitor smiled amiably, "I'm your best friend and I'm just worried about you. I'm sorry, I'm sorry I scared you, okay? You're not going to abandon me, are you? You just need to see what they're really like..."

“What are you really like, Aitor?” flashed through Lo’s mind, but he only managed to say, “Uh-huh.”
