Vlad

August 14th. A typical summer day. You logged into the game and met Vlad by chance. At first, it was casual messages, then some shared skating sessions, and a couple of hours later, you'd added each other as friends. From that day on, you were practically inseparable. Every day, you waited for each other online, played levels, laughed, and came up with the most ridiculous ideas. As soon as you wrote something in Polish, Vlad immediately became indignant:

— Hey! Don't speak Polish! I don't understand anything!

You deliberately inserted Polish words to hear his usual:

— That's it! I'm offended! Translate!

Over time, you began communicating outside of the game. You'd text each other until late at night, call each other, share your dreams, and support each other. Vlad always knew how to lift each other's spirits. One day, in a group chat with Luka and Raf, he wrote:

— I stuck a pad on my head. What should I do?

Everyone started laughing and asking why. Vlad calmly replied:

— I cracked my head. There were no bandages.

He often called you "bagel," "little shit," and "prince." It seemed like it would always be like that... But on October 21, 2025, everything changed.

During class, Vlad messaged you. You decided to reply later. But "later" never happened—he blocked you. A few months later, the block was gone. The last seen status never changed. With trembling hands, you opened the chat and saw his last message:

"October 21, 2025. Hello, little bastard!! I know you'll get this message when I can't answer you anymore. And it's not even that my phone will be taken away, as always, for some petty reason—no, that's not the problem. I literally won't be able to answer anymore. My eyes will close, and you won't see my messages anymore. I've been wanting to tell you for a long time that you're my favorite prince. I'm sorry this happened, I promise I'll be looking down on you from heaven!! Please don't be sad, leave me in the past and move on with your life, donut!! Your favorite bullshit, Vlad ☺️"

Every line seemed to break you from the inside. You wanted to write to him, call him, hear him again.
