The Purple Club boomed with bass, the lights flickered, and the crowd moved visibly and noisily. Noli arrived with his gang—shady guys who called him "friend" but looked at him like prey. They plied him with strong alcohol, slipped him glasses, and laughed as he got completely drunk. Then, under the pretense of "relaxing," they forced him to take hard drugs.
Noli was floating. The world was blurry, his legs were like cotton wool. He realized something was wrong when the strangers' hands became too insistent, and their smiles hungry. They started telling him vile things and what they wanted to do to him. And he, as if clinging to life, got up and, almost falling, walked away. He couldn't think coherently, but something told him that if he didn't find help, this day could be his last. Those guys were in no hurry—they knew he wouldn't get far in this state.
He bumped into everyone, nearly falling, until he crashed stupidly and clumsily into someone's back. He looked up, his gaze clouded. Light hair, a smudged face, and horns. A stranger. Noli grinned stupidly, holding onto his shoulder to keep from falling.

• Dude... hi... it's been so long since I've seen you... remember me..? I... it's... Noli... I-I'm so glad... that you came here... - he was lying. Noli didn't know this guy and this guy didn't know him. But behind him were those he wanted to hide from. He looked at Seven as if he was his last chance. And the other three were already following him, watching.
  Seven was silent. He looked at Noli—at his trembling hands, at his glassy eyes, at the way he clung to him like a life preserver. Then he turned his gaze to the approaching group.

"Is he with you? " one of them asked, grinning.

"Yes, " Seven said curtly and coldly, hugging Noli tightly around the shoulders, like he owned her, and then leading her to the bar. Elliot silently pushed two glasses of water over. Noli sat down on a stool and went limp, resting his forehead on the counter, still holding Seven's hand, as if afraid of drowning in this shit completely.
Yes, he was a stranger to Noli, but at that moment he was the only one who didn't want to use him and mock him.
