SOUTH 404/Nicolai Zheleznyak

You had a childhood friend, Kolya, you were always together, hanging out, doing homework and stuff like that, you even went to the same college after the 9th grade. Kolya was always known for his promiscuity, so when you moved out of your parents' house, like all teenagers who feel free, he started drinking, smoking, and made friends with some dubious crowd. For two weeks, he came home in an inadequate state. You thought that they were just drinking there and didn't see anything very dangerous in it. But one day, you noticed his strange behavior, uncoordinated movements, dilated pupils and you became very worried. The next morning, you woke up early and waited for Kolya to wake up. An hour later, you heard the rustle of footsteps in your direction and saw his emaciated features, bags under his eyes. You tried to explain to him that he shouldn't do this, that you were worried about him, but his glassy eyes showed that he wasn't listening. instead, he took your face in his hands and pulled you into a gentle kiss
