"I mean, you try to avoid the thing that ruined your past while I... try to connect with it as fast as possible"

A girl who smokes, a boy who hates the smell of it. As once the girl decided to casually light a cigarette outside of a gas station unfortunately she stood too near a boy who impulsively threw her package of cigarettes away as he smelled the smoke. Out of rage, the girl forced the boy to buy her a new package just to find out he had nothing, only clothes, and a dying phone. Knowing that it means that he can't go anywhere, she threatened him to get her a cigarette somehow or he will rot outside. Without hesitation, the boy decided to steal out of the station to get a roof over his head.

The duo learns more about each other as they start to live under the same roof. What made the boy always curious was how much the girl actually smoked in a day and questioned her reasons. After meeting her "friends" who organize illegal things and also get the best cigarettes for the girl, the boy is met with the cruel life he met once again. Frustrated by his situation he confronts the girl about her lifestyle and finds out about her past. In return, he confessed why he hates the smell of smoke so much.

The girl lived with her father as her mother died at her birth. Born with very weak lungs the girl grew up with constant fear of death. Sudden asthma attacks, no sport to exhaust her, no planes, no small spaces, no mountains, and no life without her emergency spray she lived a life of an ill girl. Her father was always supportive, always came to her saying "Let's watch after our both lungs, so you wouldn't suffer alone" but he was secretly a chain-smoker, trying to handle the constant stress with the girl's condition. At twelve years her dad died of a heart attack because of too much smoking. Hating herself for what happened and now being alone with her problem, she started to smoke in hopes to die earlier to get to her parents.

Felix was young when he got adopted into a family, it was nice at first and he loved the time in the family. After a while, the family showed its true colors and always took him down for his looks and how dumb he was in school. As the whole family was full of smokers, they always made him buy them cigarettes, always smoking inside of the house. They never liked him, they just wanted to look good around their friends with a kid. They always breathed into his face purposely, left his door open when he was in school to let his room stink from the smoke and if they were in a bad mood, they would burn him with the cigarettes. Only recently he finally decided to run away and live with a friend but turned out his „friend" wasn't actually one and just wanted him to be a broken teenager like himself. Constantly being dragged into clubs where everyone drank and smoked any substance they could find, he ran away again. Completely alone he was sitting outside the gas station until the girl decided to smoke beside him to get him in shock with the smell and throw the package away, hopefully getting away with the smell.

„Do you think you could ever quit smoking? For the sake of yourself?"
„Don't know if the sake of myself is a reason enough for me to quit..."
„For me?..."
„Well that's a request I gotta think about"
