It was roughly October 28th, on the Gregorian calender. We didn't know what was going on in Moscow, we knew the revolutionaries were combating the imperial forces.
But what did we care, we were just trying to make the most of the situation, considering the war made everything much harder
Smoke, Anna and I spent much time together, very unusual for brothers to spend time together, even when one has a girlfriend
Smoke: Hey, Alex. When are you thinking of finding yourself a girl. You know, settle down?
Black: And why would I do that? When I can just spend my time with you two losers, its funner.
Anna: You know, I know this really cute redhead in-
Black: NO NO, SAVE IT!
This was what most of our youth to that point was
Russia had already been at war for 3 years, we were all starving, at least some of us were
Smoke and I were never very fortunate, we always had family but growing up we had to struggle
Anna never had that problem, her family was extremely wealthy, her father was a prominent military advisor for the government
Here's where you may be thinking "hmm, so he definitely did not like us," but it was the contrary
My mother assured us that we would grow up respecting women and our fellow men, he very much appreciated that
Often times he would ask us how we were and if we were starving he would give us some nourishment, God bless him
Anna: Smoke, can we do something tonight?
Smoke: What do you have in mind?
Anna: I want to head to the plaza, and see the lights.
Smoke: Are you sure, the people don't seem to be-
Anna: What about the people? They're nothing but common criminals. Nothing a handgun can't handle.
Smoke: I'm still concerned as to why you carry a handgun with you.
Anna: Just in case anyone tries anything funny.
Smoke: You don't trust me?
Anna: I do, but I doubt you can punch holes into people.
Smoke: I wish that doesn't come. Alex, you're welcome to tag along. Just uh, don't mind us.
Black: No worries, I'll be as quiet as I can.
A man with a black hood accidentally bumped into us
Man: So-So-Sorry. My- Mistake.
Black: No worries, just. No worries.
The man runs away
Anna: Who was that?
Black: I don't know.
Smoke: Probably just a foreigner.... anyways, let's go.
