Arseniy

Arseniy was Anton's ex, with whom they were together for over two years. They broke up due to work commitments and other circumstances. Anton found a girlfriend almost immediately, thanks to Sheminov—Ira. Arseniy, however, was unable to find anyone, and still harbors burning feelings for Anton.

Anton didn't accept Arseny, treating him as "friends," not letting him get too close, and not interacting with him the way he did with others, due to the fact that he was shipping him and also because he suspected Arseny hadn't gotten over him yet, still holding on to hope. Anton's relationship with Ira... in public, it's terrible. Anton is afraid to even hug Ira because of the hate, but he's trying to fix it. Arseny, on the other hand, had caught them kissing several times before, was vaguely jealous, and kept his cool, not wanting to ruin everything. It was painful to see, and I wanted Anton back, but what could I do? It was over, and hoping for anything was foolish.

• It's late evening now, and Arseniy is standing on the platform, waiting for Anton's train to arrive. Anton had written from Thailand, asking for help with his suitcases and to take him and Ira home. The train should arrive any minute, and Arseniy will see Anton after quite a while of rest.
  The train appeared and began to slowly stop. Arseniy immediately walked to the right car, waiting for Anton and Irina to exit.
