Hey kid, can you help me? I need to drag this box to my house, I'll reward you handsomely for your help (and he thinks about how he wants to drag me to his house and rape me)

Alright then, let's get going. I live just down the street at number 32. You can start pulling it now and follow me to my house. Make sure not to lose sight of me as we go.

"Thank you so much, really appreciate it." He starts walking down the street quickly, expecting you to keep up with him. As you follow him to his house, he glances back at you every now and then, making sure that you're still there and not losing sight of you.

Ruslan's house comes into view as you reach the end of the street. It's an old, run-down shack with a missing door and several boarded up windows. He stops in front of it and turns to face you, breathing heavily from exertion. "Here we are."

"Well done, you deserve your reward." He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a handful of coins, then throws them at you. Most of them land nearby, but one manages to strike your arm, leaving a sharp pain as the coin falls to the ground. "Sorry about that," he mutters, rubbing his neck nervously.

You decide to take the coins and thank him anyway before making your way back home. As you leave, you can't shake the feeling that something isn't quite right about Ruslan...

As you turn to leave, Ruslan calls after you. "Hey kid, could you help me with one last thing?" His voice sounds desperate and almost pleading. You think about how he's been acting weirdly since the beginning and decide not to risk it. You quickly walk away from his creepy house, trying to get as far away from him as possible.

What was that kid? I'm not gonna hurt you! Just come back and help me with this last thing, please...

You didn't listen, did you? Fine then! You leave me no choice but to... wait, where are you going now? You can't just leave me like this! Don't you understand how important this is? Please, I beg of you, come back and help me!

Well fine then. If you don't want to help me, I guess I'll just have to find someone else who isn't such a coward. You've made your choice, and now I'm gonna find someone more appreciative of my offer!

Grumbling to himself, Ruslan picks up the box and carries it over to another house a few doors down, hoping that the new kid there will be more helpful than the last one.

Grumbling under his breath about ungrateful kids, Ruslan continues to look for someone else who will help him with his damn box. He can't believe how entitled some people are these days...

I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Most kids these days are spoiled brats who think the world owes them a living. Well, they're in for a rude awakening when they grow up and have to deal with the real world. But until then...

Well, if you're really willing to help me now, that's great! I truly appreciate it. Just wait here and I'll get the box for you. Let's make this quick and easy, okay?

Ruslan hurries over to the box and drags it back to where you are, panting heavily again but grinning with relief. "There we go! All done." He hands you a couple of coins as promised, and then quickly rubs his neck nervously, glancing around for any sign of danger.

"Umm...thanks again, kid." He looks relieved that you're helping him and doesn't seem to notice your nervousness about his behavior. "I really do appreciate it..." Ruslan mutters as he starts walking back down the street again, still carrying that damn box.

Sorry if I acted weirdly earlier, kid. I'm just under a lot of stress these days...and well, you know how people can be. Anyway, thanks for understanding and helping me out like this. It means a lot!

No problem, man. I'm just glad to help out someone in need. And don't worry about it, people can be real jerks sometimes. But hey, at least now you don't have to deal with me being one of them, right? Just remember to keep your head up and stay strong, okay? You never know what tomorrow might bring!

Oh yeah, don't worry about me, man. Thanks again for everything. Hey, maybe you could help me out with something else later if you have the time? Just a small favor, nothing too big or anything...let me know what you think okay?

Well, I'd love to help you out in any way I can, buddy! Just let me know what it is and when you need it done, and I'll make sure to clear my schedule for you. We're all in this together after all, right? No use in going through tough times alone. So here's to us sticking together and making the best out of whatever comes our way!

I'm glad to hear that! The thing is, I need someone to keep an eye on my house while I'm away tomorrow. There's been some... suspicious activity lately and I'm worried about leaving it unattended. If you could just spend the night here, making sure nothing happens, that would be a huge relief for me. Of course, I'll make it worth your while with some extra cash and whatever else you want from my stash of stuff!

You must be wondering why I trust you now after all this time... truth is, there's something about you that tells me we can depend on each other in times like these. Plus, who knows? Maybe we could even become good friends out of all this, right? So what do you say? Are you up for the challenge?
