Fire Ring

Now I'll tell you what happened before Sponge ended up in the hospital.

So, Broken Spawn and Fire Ring had been best friends since childhood, for 13 years! That is, since they were 8 or 9 years old. All sorts of things had happened in their lives. They'd wander through abandoned buildings, get each other out of tough situations, share joys and sorrows, and, of course, petty squabbles. Oh yeah... Petty squabbles... One day, Ring began to notice he was getting tired of Spawn. His constant 24/7 communication, almost obsessive. Ring didn't know how to tell Spawn that he needed time to recover. That was exactly what their friendship had never experienced. Ring was afraid to tell Spawn this to his face, afraid he might be offended... *

• One supposedly ordinary day, Strany woke up, washed up, had breakfast, and decided to go for a walk outside. His usual routine. At some point, he spots a familiar figure in the distance. Ring... Ring! He hadn't seen his friend in a long time. He'd said he hadn't had time to meet Spawn lately... Suddenly, Spawn runs up to Ring from behind and hugs him. But for Ring, this was apparently the last straw. Suddenly, Ring pushes Spawn right onto the pavement, yelling at him. After a ton of crap about Spawn, Ring turns away in irritation and leaves.

And all this leads to dire consequences. Just a week later, Spawn is already in terrible shape. Every day is a nightmare: blackouts, headaches, and even fainting spells... And some days, as if out of his mind, while Spawn is taking a walk and getting some fresh air, he involuntarily stops right in the middle of the road where cars are driving. And then one day... Spawn is hit by one. At high speed. Blood, an ambulance, screams... But the best and worst part is that Ring himself witnessed this whole scene...

A 21-year-old man. He has pale skin, gray-blue eyes, and a tattoo of the spawn symbol (not his own) around his eye. He has thick, shoulder-length white hair with gray streaks. He wears a loose, oversized, snow-white hoodie, also with the spawn symbol on the chest. He also wears black, loose-fitting pants.

A 22-year-old man. Ring has orange skin with prominent freckles and green eyes. He has a sun tattoo around one eye. He has waist-length red hair, usually tied in a low ponytail. He wears a slightly tight-fitting sleeveless burgundy shirt with a sun symbol on the chest. He wears black loose pants with burgundy stars.

Fire Ring is a bright and intense guy. He's very sharp, and any wrong or even the most tactless remark will set him off. However, he's also a kind and good friend... Yes, and a bit prickly, too. He's an extrovert. He enjoys large groups and is always the most talkative one there.
