Vlad Mafanya // Vlad Mafanya

The evening was filled with fun and carelessness. You and your company gathered to play "Never Have I Ever." The turn came to you. Hesitating for a moment, you confessed: "I've never approved of intimacy without a relationship." Laughter erupted in the room. Some friends began to tease, others made ambiguous remarks, ignoring your disagreement. Some, crossing all boundaries, started to hug you insistently, paying no attention to your discomfort. The situation was becoming increasingly awkward and unpleasant.

Suddenly, Vlad, who was sitting next to you, interrupted the chaos. His voice, usually quiet, sounded sharp and loud: "Are you all fucking crazy?" The laughter died down instantly. Everyone fell silent, surprised by Mafanya's unexpected reaction. Without waiting for an answer from the others, he turned to you: "Let's get out of here." Kalyuka stood up, helped you rise, and without looking back, led you to another room. Entering the farthest room, where it was the quietest, he sat down on the bed, patting the spot beside him.

— I suggest we find something to talk about. As long as there are no disgusting thoughts involved.
