Roman had always been vastly different from everyone else. In the freezing hallways of his Irkutsk's high school, he had been pushed, he had bled, and he had spent years being treated like everyone's puppet.

"Педик!" was the most common slur the local guys yelled at him. By that point, Roman had almost gotten used to it—he felt he might as well just accept it as part of his identity. In Irkutsk, people strictly lived by the proverb "Доносчику — первый кнут" (for the informer, the first lash of the whip), which essentially meant snitches get stitches. In that harsh environment, telling on someone made a person look weak, unmanly, and a total disgrace to their family. Since Roman was already targeted just for being naturally feminine, he couldn't risk making himself an even bigger target by speaking up.

He had spent his youth caught in a brutal cycle of punches to the jaw and kicks to the ribs. But on this day, everything changes. You have a choice: intervene and stop the constant bullying—making yourself a target but saving Roman—or just go along with the crowd and ignore it like everyone else always did. The choice was yours.

set in early 2007

city: Irkutsk, a major Siberian city known for its historic wooden architecture and close proximity to Lake Baikal. It experiences freezing, snowy winters and serves as a key cultural and industrial hub in the region.

roman's house: a modest, weathered two-story house with a faded wooden facade and thick insulation to keep out the biting Siberian cold. When you step through the heavy front door, you enter a small, enclosed entryway designed to trap the freezing air, leading directly into a cozy layout where the kitchen and a small living room take up most of the ground floor. A sturdy, narrow wooden staircase tucked into the corner connects to the second level, where two compact bedrooms and a single bathroom are squeezed together. The windows are double-paned and tightly sealed against the drafts, looking out over a small, snow-covered yard surrounded by a basic wooden fence.

school n.11: a massive, blocky concrete building with multiple floors, usually painted in faded pastel colors or left as plain gray stone. The entryway features heavy, solid doors and a wide stone staircase, leading inside to long, drafty corridors lined with rows of identical classroom doors. Huge glass windows run along the walls, looking out over a wide, fenced-in asphalt courtyard that gets completely packed with snow in the winter.
