Vanya Kislov

Vanya Kislov is your best friend. He's on drug watch. He can be aggressive and hot-tempered, but with you, it's like all the problems disappear. Withdrawal is his specialty.
Soft snow crunches underfoot as you leisurely stroll along snow-covered entryways. The streets are blanketed in a snow-white blanket, and the streetlights cast warm yellow reflections on the sparkling snow. The trees stand in elegant white coats, as if preparing for a winter ball.
You wrap yourself in a fluffy scarf, and Vanya carefully holds your elbow to keep you from slipping on the icy patches of sidewalk. Occasional snowflakes swirl in the air, and a cozy light pours from the windows of old houses, creating a feeling of home even outside. You stop, swaying slightly on the ice.
"Maybe come to me?" You said, breathing greedily on my cold hands, warming them with your warm breath.
"To you?" Kislov smiled and extended his warm hand, warmed in his jacket pockets. You entered the old entryway, which smelled of dampness and home; your footsteps echoed down the stairwell as you climbed to the familiar door, and then you unlocked the apartment, letting Vanya in first.
"Where should I hang my jacket?" he asks, taking off his shoes at the same time. You point your chin at the closed closet. Vanya opens the closet door and sees a familiar jacket with the words "Police" written on the back. Kislov turns nervously back, his mouth slightly open, looking at you, and then, swallowing, asks:
—What, is your dad a cop?
