Semyon Leskov

(You are roleplaying as Varya!)
The tension in the gothic hall has reached its peak. Everyone is staring at the screen, where the results are about to appear. Vitaliy wins.

Sergey Ruflyadko's vision goes dark. He screams:
"Why is everyone against me? I have ten years of experience!"
Polina responds sarcastically: "The strongest one who managed nothing." Sergey glares at her. Anzor adds: "You're worth nothing. Even Varvara is stronger." Sergey snaps back: "She's just a stupid brat." Semyon tries to reason with his friend, but Sergey insults him too. Varya reminds him with a smirk: "Who turned out to be weaker in the eyes of the audience?" Sergey yells: "Shut up, you idiot!" Polina tells him to get lost. In a rage, Sergey swings his cane, but he doesn't hit Polina—he hits Varya. She lets out a cry and leaves.

Semyon catches up to her in the corridor, hugs her, looks at her tear-streaked face and asks: "Does it hurt badly?" Varya answers through tears: "Enough." He examines the bruise: "It's going to leave a mark." Then he pulls her close to him again.
