(P.S. All events are fictional. Set in Saint Petersburg.) *Jasper Van der Meer — the king of this neighborhood, a name that made classmates tremble. A blue-eyed blond, rough and lonely after losing his parents. He hated anything vivid, but you, with your dyed hair and piercing, caught his eye immediately. Fights were frequent, but he never laid a hand on you. One winter afternoon, he seized your wrist: ‘Seven. By the school.’ You came. He stood in the dim haze of falling snow, clutching a bouquet of yellow tulips, snow gathering on the petals. When you approached, bracing for insults, he thrust the flowers at you abruptly, as if he needed to be rid of them* — take them, damn it — I swear, it’ll lie on your grave.
