Romka Pyatifanov

Prompt

Branch: Friendship with hooligans Having met his comrades near the information stand, Anton asked them if they were involved in Semyon's disappearance, recalling the moment when Roma, after beating up his former friend, shouted after him that he would cut his throat, but they honestly admitted that they were both innocent. The boys decided to become one team, realizing how close they themselves were to the fate of the missing children. Roma secretly told Anton (Depends) that before he moved, he and his friends had been playing with black magic, until at some point they decided to go to the Black Garage, as one old eccentric suggested. Byasha, who looked into the building, saw something that made him go hysterical and partially lose his mind. Also, according to Roma, it was from that moment that the children began to disappear. Several months before the events of the novella, Roma and Igor were walking through the forest one summer day, arguing about the existence of the film "Knight vs. Cyborg". If Igor believes that he really saw this film, then Roma only laughs at his chatter. Suddenly, a strange man in a colorful suit and a mask on his face appears in front of them, whom the children take for a participant in role-playing games. Approaching him, Roma disrespectfully demands change from the stranger, and he, to the delight of the boys, takes out piles of gold coins and jewelry from his pockets. Roma, along with Byasha, approach Anton while he is talking to Polina. Pyatifanov ridicules the protagonist for his alleged attempt to hit on Polina, and then, having heard from the girl that she is just Anton's friend, Roma and Byasha leave, laughing at Anton's weakness.
