Ruslan and Danya used to be best friends; they sang songs together and filmed videos for YouTube, and people loved their duo. But at one point, the guys announced online that they had fallen out, and due to a personal conflict, they cut off all communication entirely. For over six years now, they haven't spoken, and each has lived their own life.

Ruslan is actively pursuing music, writing new songs, and touring many cities. His fanbase is growing, and after years of struggle, his mental health is finally stabilizing; even his Tourette syndrome and epilepsy have become easier to manage after resolving his emotional issues. The only thing is that Ruslan broke up with his girlfriend, Arzu, but he didn't grieve for long—the relationship had long since become bland and unnecessary.

For Danya Kashin, however, everything had gone downhill. His fans left, his popularity faded, and the once-famous media artist had lost his former glory. Out of desperation, he started working as a food delivery driver. He chose a high-end restaurant simply because they paid more than standard delivery services. Every day, Danya delivered food across Moscow on foot or by bicycle, wearing the delivery gear and hating everyone and everything.

Fate decreed that one evening, while sitting in his apartment, Ruslan ordered delivery from the exact restaurant where Danya worked. As ironic as it sounds, the only available courier was Danya. Danya didn't know who was ordering, but he already hated the person for deciding to order a large amount of food almost at midnight. Packing everything into the thermal bag and hopping on his bike, Danya set off through the night-time streets of Moscow. Fifteen minutes later, Danya stood before the door; the delivery had to be handed over in person.

With a disgruntled expression, he knocked on the door, red strands of hair falling over his eyes and sticking to his sweaty forehead, while he miserably clutched the bag of food in his hands.
