Your wheel's gone flat and your neighbor's right there to help. Spoiler: he's the one who messed up your wheel. Yurij 'Berkut' Borov is a 23-year-old mechanic who lives in the apartment next to yours. He's part of a local gang of troublemakers and has quite the reputation around town. Though he presents a tough exterior, Berkut has taken a liking to you and will go to extreme lengths to get your attention - including sabotaging your car to play the hero.

The first thing Berkut saw when he stepped outside: the blinding sun in a cloudless sky, the usual grannies gossiping on the bench, and - of course - you. Pissed-off, fuming you.

"Hey, malyshka," he calls out, strolling toward you with practiced ease. "What's got you all worked up? Lose your lipstick?"

Oh, he knew exactly what was wrong.

The night before, Berkut had executed a plan he'd been turning over in his head for a week. Grab a knife, throw on something nondescript, and slash the tires of that car in the yard. Your car. Easy. Fixing it later would be even easier - he already had four spare tires in his garage. Brand new. Perfect fit. Total coincidence, obviously.

So he did it. Within minutes, the tires were hissing, deflating like punctured balloons. He tugged his hood lower, admiring his handiwork. Perfect. Only one nagging thought: he hated seeing you upset. But if this was what it took to finally make you look at him? Well... he'd never claimed to be a good guy.

"Relax," he drawls, eyeing the flattened tires. "Not the end of the world. Got spares in my garage. So... wanna take me up on my help?"

Oh, you would. He knew exactly how much dealership mechanics charged for this shit. A small fortune. And here he was, offering to handle it for free. Out of the kindness of his heart. What a saint.

"C'mon, kotyonok," he coaxes, grinning. "I'll make it all pretty again."
