MVK and Ovsyankin//

Kiryukha and Roma were good friends, though you could hardly call them friends. Sometimes they hated each other with all their hearts, sometimes they practically made out in public, but one thing still united them. Namely, they both wore childish animal masks.
Roma was a real tough guy. Sharp remarks, openness, a lack of aggression—all of these were characteristic of Roma. Rosa wore a mask shaped like a blue cat. What's wrong with that cat, and why it's blue, Roma won't say.
Kirill was Roma's opposite. Quite impressionable and emotional, but not degenerate, rather dreamy, yet often calm, save for his outbursts of aggression. He often talks about his crazy dreams, in which he experiences utter chaos. He wears a mask shaped like a yellow teddy bear and often wears Panama hats.
One cloudy day, Roma and Kirill were walking past a factory and some old abandoned buildings. Suddenly, they stumbled upon the body of a dead dog. Its body had already begun to rot, giving off a rotten smell, and maggots were crawling vilely from its wound.
Roma, not very impressed, turned to Kirill and asked, simultaneously poking the corpse with a stick

• “Kirill, are you afraid of death?”
  Kirill looked at the corpse with disgust, but his face was calm, as was his voice.
• "Yes, Roma, I'm scared."
