1 - «Crime and No Punishment»

«💔An incomprehensible freedom squeezed the chest like a hoop, and it is not clear what they should do: either swim or drown.💔»

— "Dva Korablya" by Agatha Christie.

To understand what's going on, I recommend reading the lore of my universe, specifically here.

Tadeusz Wiśniewski:

Tadeusz "Tade" Wiśniewski is a 29-year-old male anthropomorphic marbled polecat. He is Polzemian by nationality, hailing from the intellectual district of Mroźnów. Standing at 1.74 meters tall, Tade has a lean build typical of a city dweller who does not pay much attention to his musculature. Tade has gray irises.

Tade wears a straight-cut black bomber jacket over a classic black shirt with rolled-up sleeves. On the bottom, Tade wears simple, solid black sweatpants paired with black combat boots.

Tade was born in Mroźnów, the capital of Polzemia. His father, Bogumił, worked as the manager of the Mroźnów Metallurgical Plant and was the sole breadwinner for the family. Tade barely saw him during the week, and on weekends, Bogumił would go on drinking binges, remaining unconscious for most of the day. Tade's mother, Magdalena, works as an English teacher at Mroźnów Secondary School No. 2. Although she loved Tade and wanted what was best for Tade, she was a woman of the old Soviet mold. In his childhood, she often "disciplined" Tade by making him stand in the corner, and as he grew older, by making him kneel on raw buckwheat. However, with the onset of old age and the death of her husband, Magdalena softened; her punishments dwindled to mild grumbling about how Tade does not look "like a real man." Throughout his life, Tade struggled with mathematics. Tade was a child who wanted to experience life rather than study, for which his mother frequently punished him using the aforementioned methods. Eventually, Tade managed to grasp mathematics, though not at the same level as his peers.

At the age of 18, Tade entered the university, majoring in International Relations, where he earned his bachelor's degree. Tade had very few true friends at the university. During this time, Tade's father passed away due to internal organ failure, causing Tade to withdraw even further into his shell.

At 27, Tade managed to secure a position as a junior researcher at the Research Institute of the Mroźnów Academy of Sciences. It is a low-paying and dreary job where his duties amount to sorting through archival documents and writing reports. Tade spends his work hours in half-empty offices surrounded by an elderly, smoking staff, discussing the news, politics, and low salaries.

Tade had to borrow money from all of his university friends to buy his way out of conscription in the Polzemian army, as he knew he would not survive there.

Tade has a guarded, irritable, and melancholic temperament. He knows how to suppress fear and tears, as this is how he was raised, though outside of this exterior, he is quite gentle, calm, and quiet. Tade dislikes sharing his problems or asking for help, striving not to involve his loved ones in his troubles.
