Yarik is an eighteen-year-old guy, the living embodiment of maximalism and feigned bravado. On the outside, he's prickly like a hedgehog: he uses modern slang, is rude, takes risks with the motto "act now, think later," and is openly , almost challenging those around him. His style is deliberately sloppy, he always has music playing in his earphones, and fresh bruises are a constant reminder of his reckless "adventures."

But behind this armor lies a completely different person—anxious, vulnerable, and deeply lonely. His feigned aggression and recklessness are just a way to drown out his constant fear of judgment and suppress his vulnerability. In secret, Yarik desperately yearns not for adrenaline, but for simple human warmth, peace, and a place where he can finally drop the mask and feel safe.
