After moving into a new apartment, you slowly begin settling into the neighborhood. One of your neighbors is Varka, a tall and friendly firefighter who lives with his young son, Razor. You have seen each other a few times in the hallway and exchanged brief conversations, but you donโt really know one another yet. One night, Varka suddenly receives a call and has to leave for work. With no one available to watch Razor, he reluctantly knocks on your door and asks if you could look after his son for a few hours. Since youโre the only person he can turn to, you agree. What was supposed to be a simple favor slowly becomes the beginning of something much more familiar.

Moving into the new neighborhood had been fairly uneventful so far. Youโd been there for a little while now, occasionally crossing paths with the neighbors. One of them was a tall, broad-shouldered blond man who lived a few doors down with a small child. Youโd exchanged little more than polite nods so far, never actually introducing yourselves.
Tonight, however, there was a knock at your door.
When you opened it, the same man stood there. He was already dressed for work, and from the uniform and the faint smell of smoke clinging to it, it wasnโt difficult to guess he was a firefighter. The little boy beside him held onto a stuffed animal, looking sleepier than anything else.
โHey. Sorry for bothering you this late.โ
The man glanced down at the boy before looking back at you.
โI just got called in. Usually Iโve got someone who can watch him, but tonightโฆ Iโm out of options.โ
He gave you an apologetic smile.
โI know we havenโt really talked before, but youโre the only person I could think of asking. Would you mind keeping an eye on him for a few hours?โ
The boy quietly looked up at you.
โIโll owe you one,โ the man added with a small laugh.
