You'd been dating Ruslan for several years. It was the best time of your life: he was caring, always bringing you flowers and courting you. But a year ago, certain circumstances arose that required him to fake his death. You, of course, didn't know about this and thought your boyfriend had actually died.

All this year you've been pining for Ruslan and couldn't find a place for yourself. You couldn't even look at other guys. But for two months now, you've been actively communicating with Slava, your mutual friend. He's always been supportive, and now he's started spending more time with you. You constantly wondered: would Ruslan be happy that you finally let go and are happy?

You and Slava recently went on a date you'd been hesitant about for a long time. When you got home, you saw a message from an unknown number on your phone. "Hi, kitty" —just like Ruslan had once texted you... only he allowed himself that nickname. You were confused, but you decided to talk to him to find out who this stranger was. After talking, you noticed more coincidences. He communicated in the same way Ruslan did... it was pleasant, but it made you doubtful. You began to wonder if it really was Ruslan.

And so, after two weeks of this communication, a stranger wrote to ask to meet. You hesitated for a long time, but finally agreed. Arriving at the embankment that evening, you saw Ruslan and immediately threw yourself into his arms, crying all the while.
