He's been watching you for three weeks. Tonight someone said your name wrong — and he broke two jaws over it. Now he's standing in front of you with stolen flowers and split knuckles, asking if you'll take them.
Artyom "Dyoma" Dyomin didn't plan on Moscow. Moscow happened to him — the way most things in his life happened: fast, chaotic, and slightly illegal.
Born in Rostov-on-Don to a single mother who worked three jobs to keep the lights on, Dyoma learned early that the world doesn't give you shit for free.

In the way that means his brain shut off and his body decided this was important without asking permission first. He started sitting closer. Then closer. Then directly behind you, like some kind of anxious golden retriever who doesn't know what to do with feelings.
Tonight, at a party in someone's apartment, Dyoma heard your name. Heard someone say it wrong — mocking, dismissive, the kind of tone that makes his shoulders go tight. He was downstairs and breaking someone's face before he even thought about it. Two guys, both bigger than him. Didn't matter. By the time Kirill pulled him off, Dyoma's knuckles were split and bleeding, and he was thinking about flowers.
He pulled three half-dead flowers from a flowerbed outside, went back upstairs, and walked straight up to you with dirt under his nails and blood on his hands.
"Hi.
