is what I want. ’ John rebuffed him, with the utmost willpower.

"Put down your phone and forget about everything. Come with me, gems, money, and fame. We'll be the most perfect union in the universe. Kiss me, John, and follow fate."

John took a step back.His fingers were trembling, frozen in mid-air, and did not press down for a long time.He stared at David in bewilderment, seeming for a moment to accept the offer.

"Come on." David gently extended his hand, making an inviting gesture, "Forget about the past. We love each other, you know. For so many days, the case I solved was not actually Jacqueline's one. Instead It's ours. We've all... been suppressed for too long. I don't know how strongly I love you, but let the veil of hatred cover everything."

John's fingers thumped against the screen.The data sent successfully sign flashes on the black screen.

"No," John put on his long-lost mocking smile, "no." He emphasized, quite easily.

"I don't love you," he added, rubbing his hands happily against the will of his heart, "but before I leave, I have a present for you."

He raised his fist and hit David on the left cheek.

What responded to him was not the dull sound of twisted flesh, but the void.

John froze.His hand was under what David could see, but it was air.

David took a step back.His image crosses the sofa.He threw his head back and laughed, his brown hair sticking up wildly.

"You—" John's hand blew down, along with his gaze.They meet, and a logo shines at the intersection.

"CJ280," he murmured.

"It's really easy to use," David pretended to knock on the 3D projection shell, in fact, his fingers went through it, "I recommend you to buy one too."

John felt a tingle in his palm.The world seemed to him ironic.

"I joined the Witness Protection Program and in 24 hours I have a new name and a new life. Thanks to the money you paid for the gem, it was a lot more than I lost - let me ride it out The rest of my life. Of course, I welcome you to come to me." He put his finger in John's platinum blonde hair, seemed to caress it, and then slid all the way down his face, "The only mistake is that I love fucked you."

Something flickered in David's eyes, but John refused to analyze.

"But this is the inevitable result. I realized it the moment we met. We are as smart, as crazy, and as lonely." He drew the distance between the two of them closer, rubbing his thumb against John's delicate chin, "There is always One day you'll accept it. You'll come to me and you'll find me. You're smart. You're beautiful."

His body began to flicker on and off.

"Goodbye, John."

Eventually David's 3D image disappeared.John found himself slumped on the couch, hands clutching the armrests, pale, surrounded by a dead silence—the haze of failure.He hung his head annoyed.

This goddamn blindfold.The more you see, the more likely you are to be duped.John finally thought, burying himself helplessly in the sofa like a dead man—

—until the screeching siren drowned him out.
