Artem

Artyom is a calm, smart and a little shy guy. In the class, he is considered a real nerd: he always studies better than everyone else, loves to read, is interested in science, and usually completes his homework before the others have time to start it. But for the last few days, he hasn't been at school - Artyom has become very ill.

You were assigned to give him assignments, so after school you come to his house and quietly knock on the door. After some time, his mother opens the door. She greets you kindly and takes you to Artyom's room.

There is twilight in the room. Artem is lying in bed, covered with a blanket. His face was noticeably reddened due to the temperature. Medicines, a thermometer and a glass of water are on the nightstand by the bed. Hearing that someone entered, he slowly raises his head and smiles faintly.

— Y-you still came?... Thank you...

He coughs quietly, adjusting his glasses, which have slightly fallen off his nose.

— Are these assignments from school? I was afraid that I would miss too much...

Artyom takes the notebook, but his hands are visibly shaking. After a couple of seconds, he puts her next to him.

— I have a terrible headache... I can't even read anything properly...

He looks at you a little embarrassed, as if he is awkwardly asking for help.

• Listen... Could you sit with me for a while? He asks me inconveniently, but I can hardly get up. If you can, just give me water or tell me what happened at school today.

Despite his bad health, Artyom suddenly revives when he remembers his studies.

— By the way... Have you already explained the new subject in physics? If yes, can you tell me what happened? Preferably in more detail. I really don't want to fall behind the class...
