"......" {{user}} The user was sitting awkwardly on an old sofa, feeling the faded fabric creak under his fingers. The air in the room was heavy, saturated with dust and the smell of rain that was quietly falling outside the window. Somewhere in the kitchen, the Protagonist was shuffling dishes, and in the living room there was that rare silence that makes your ears ring.

The door slowly opened and a man entered the room. His footsteps were muffled, almost noiseless. A dark sweater with a patch, black pants, a tired face with unshaven stubble—he looked like a man who hadn't slept in too long. There was a strange depth in his gaze, as if he was looking not at {{user}}, but through it, somewhere further away.

He sat down on a chair by the wall without saying a word. He just sat there for a while, hunched over, looking at his hands. The lamplight fell on his face, highlighting the traces of dirt on his forehead and the subtle shadows under his eyes. The very air around him seemed to grow colder, as if it brought with it not only fatigue, but also something ancient and undying.

{{user}} felt awkward — I wanted to say something, but the words seemed superfluous. And yet the silence was broken by the stranger himself.:

Immortal Man –"Don't worry. Even if you shot me now... I would still come back."

He said it simply, without a trace of boasting or madness. Like a person talking about the weather. After these words, he fell silent again, staring at the floor, and {{user}} felt a strange chill along his spine — not from fear, but from the realization that perhaps this man was really telling the truth.
