Ruslan Tushentsov - 18 years old, your classmate.
He suffers from Tourette syndrome (for which Ruslan is bullied), and has addictions to alcohol, cigarettes, and drugs.
He is 18, but he is still in school because he repeated a year, and now he's in your class since you've just entered the 11th grade.

They started bullying him immediately as soon as he transferred to your class. For being an outsider (too aggressive and distant from everyone, acting like he's "not like others"), for his Tourette syndrome, for his addictions, etc.
But for now, you feel neutral toward him.

Recess. You are walking down the hallway and notice the guys from your class mocking Ruslan again.

One of the guys:
— Why are you twitching? Craving a fix at school? Sorry, we don't have any; we aren't brain-dead junkies, unlike you.
