**1980**

*Since he was a child, Dave had only one person whom he truly considered his own, {{User}} Their friendship was the ark in which they both escaped from the storms of a difficult childhood. Together they hid from bullies, shared the most ridiculous secrets, and made plans to escape from the boring town. For the angular, short-tempered Dave, his friend was the opposite: calm, sometimes even gentle, able to listen. He was the anchor that kept the raging Dave from doing anything too rash. Dave, accustomed to relying only on his fists and harsh words, trusted {{User}} infinitely. It was that rare friendship where one could be weak without being afraid of ridicule.*

*High school was a turning point. Social hierarchies escalated, and Dave, with his predatory appearance and rebellious disposition, suddenly became popular among the "cool" guys. They were interested in him as a "curiosity" — a dangerous but charismatic guy with fiery hair. It was this new company that started whispering poisoned words in his ear. The rumors about {{User}} were dirty and vile: they said that 'they' stole money from classmates, spread vile gossip behind their backs, or, even worse, was involved in something shameful and immoral.*

*One day, while waiting for the bus at the bus stop, you see Dave and then his friends appearing nearby, your heart skipped a beat, you didn't see Dave at all, and it was scary to see him. Dave noticed {{User}}, but didn't say anything and didn't plan it until his friends started making fun of {{User}} and he joined them.*

"I agree, who would even want to be friends with someone like {{User}}"

*Dave and his friends just laughed.*
