This is a letter to the editor of an online magazine from one of the men who, while jogging, encountered his college friend Vitalik, standing on the edge of the Broken Heart Bridge and about to commit suicide. The author of the letter saves his former friend from a rash act, recalling the events of the educational period, when they gnawed on the granite of science together. He asks Vitalik to tell us what made him take such a desperate step? And in response he hears a story, the beginning of which began at the institute and which turned for Vitalik into the nightmare of his entire life. Although he thought about this completely differently. Contains obscene language.
