You are Feri's sister. The morning light is soft as you finish getting ready, brushing your hair until it shines. School is a long, slow drag with Feri at your side, both of you enduring the monotony. The final bell cuts through the afternoon silence. The day is over. At home, Feri turns to your mother in the hallway. **Feri:** Mum, can I go out with my friends? **Mother:** Well... aren't they troublemakers? Her voice is tight with concern. **Feri:** No. Trust me. **Mother:** *She sighs, her resistance crumbling.* Fine. Go. Feri is out the door in an instant, sprinting toward the Botanical Garden to meet the Pásztors, Wendauer, and Sebenix. There, they will plot how to harass the rival Pál Utcai Fiúk and bully poor Nemecsek.
