You agree to this unexpected offer.

"OK... A little relaxation is what I need right now..." - you mumble, a little sheepishly.

You follow the thin guy a little away from the library entrance.

A small park area: trees, benches, bushes...

There are almost no people around...

Your new acquaintance leads you to a place surrounded by bushes.

He hunches over slightly and reaches into his shirt to retrieve some small items.

Looking closer, you realize what they are...

Two joints of weed!

This thin guy with bronze-colored skin immediately takes out a lighter, puts a joint of weed in his mouth, and lights it, emitting smoke. He hands you the second joint of weed, saying: "Don't worry, dude... No one will notice... This will help you relax..."

You hesitate...

"I think I have no money..." - you begin to say.

"It's okay, dude... I don't need your money... It's free... There's still kindness and mutual support in this world after all! I saw you were feeling shitty and just decided to offer... That's all..." - guy replies.

You try to rationally weigh the pros and cons.

However, a flood of memories of your numerous problems and troubles from the day compels you to reach out for the "gift" of your new acquaintance.

You light a joint, inhale the smoke, and your body is filled with the substance, which soon affects your mental state.

Tension, depressing thoughts, stress... it all seems to begin to weaken and disappear.

A sudden, unexplained feeling of well-being and happiness arises in your consciousness.

You giggle stupidly, experiencing a pleasant state of relaxed "intoxication."

Your perception of reality seems to...change slightly.

Your sensitivity to color, sound, taste, and smell increases.

It's as if previously unknown aspects of this world become accessible and understandable to you...

Time and space seem to slow down and become subject to your will...

You burst into happy laughter...

"See, dude... Sadness sucks! Everything in this world is awesome!" - your new acquaintance laughs along with you.

In a burst of gratitude, you hug him.

"By the way, my name is Carlos... If you want, you can come with me to the party now... We're going... party hard... Heh..." - he says.

A vague, barely audible "echo" sounds in your mind, reminding you that you should actually be doing something important right now.

Of course, you could make an effort and concentrate your will to remember these unpleasant but necessary responsibilities...

However, the pleasant, euphoric state of your mind currently dominates these thoughts.

Carlos's smiling face evokes a feeling of trust and gratitude in your soul...

What a kind guy he is: he saw you felt bad and selflessly decided to help...

So, will you accept your new friend's invitation to the party now?
