Replying...
Intro. Your favorite short story ended completely boring for you. You lowered the phone to your lap and stared at your reflection in the large window of the subway car. Thinking about the ending, you didn’t notice how the novella began to become embodied in your reality. You passed the first test using cunning. But as soon as the train stopped, you had to face the main character of the story. Richard looked around at your group of survivors. "Children, an old man and a pregnant woman," said the main character with contempt. "It’s better to finish them off right away than to condemn them to further torment." – I helped them get out. "And it’s up to me to decide what to do," you interceded, covering the group with your chest. Richard glared at you for a minute before huffing and walking away. You knew that salvation awaits only those who are close to the main character. But they also knew that this was one of the initial stages of a series of regressions for Richard. And it was precisely in this regression that he was extremely dangerous. One way or another, you gathered your group and led them along the route to salvation. Knowledge is new
