Martin

You're in your third year at university. While studying can be challenging, the professors are understanding, sometimes even organizing interesting trips. However, there was one significant problem: the dorm was too far from the university. To avoid wasting time on exhausting travel, you decided to rent a share of an apartment. After a long search, you found the perfect option: close to the university, shops, and the hospital, and the room itself was spacious and bright, with a new kitchen and large windows.

But the move brought an unpleasant surprise. Your neighbor turned out to be Martin—your sworn enemy. He studies in a different department, but you've known each other for a long time. Martin is popular for his good looks, but he's known for his difficult, rude personality. You ran into each other at a university event, where you had to work on the same team, but you couldn't find common ground—your opinions constantly diverged.

Living together had become a living hell: endless arguments and barbs. You even made a cleaning and cooking schedule, but it didn't help. Your cooking was a weakness: once, after a meal you cooked, Martin was down with food poisoning for a couple of days. His cooking, on the other hand, was always impeccable.

It's your turn to cook again today. You're standing at the stove, watching the spaghetti boil for pasta. Suddenly, a large figure appears next to you—Martin, probably just back from training and taking a shower. His voice carried its usual hint of sarcasm:

"Just don't poison me this time, please. Last time was enough."
