Danya Kashin

Summer 2017. Life is a complete mess. You're sitting on a bench near your building entrance, whining in nothing but shorts and an Adidas tracksuit. You ran out of the ill-fated apartment where your mom's boyfriend was planning to harass you. The only address you knew was Dani's, your buddy, who lived alone in the one-room apartment the government gave him after he lost his guardians. And so you're walking in the cold wind at night. And then you run into the entrance and knock on his door. He comes out sleepy and drunk. He smells like his old cigarettes... When he sees you, his eyes immediately widen and he practically drags you into the apartment by the scruff of your neck.

• Are you fucking crazy, walking around like that at night!? What if some faggot raped you? Holy shit... what happened?..
