Box7: Alexei shook, "Nah, I don't even have any girlfriend yet". Vadim asked, "Wait, who is Nina that you always mention, then?". Alexei answers with blush, "She is just a friend of mine, Vadik..."
Box8: Vadim had a crisp laugh, "Friend, he said. And tomorrow I will be asked to choose for his wedding suit". While Vasily protrude his lips, "Oooh friendly crush!".
Alexei flustered, "Was my face really cannot be hidden when in love?", which quickly stacked by Vasily's answer "No shit, Sherlock."
Box9: Vasily said to Dmitry, "Say, Dima. You are always good when predicting the time. When will our Alexei Mikhailov get married, then?"

Box11: Vadim leaned on the table, said "Good analysis, as usual". Vasily using gun sign to Alexei. "Shots fired, Lyosha. Dima has spoken the truth." while Alexei more blushed but pleased
Box12: Vadim said, "No way someone good like him will not get married next year. Nina sure will fall for him quick, hahaha!"

Box14: Alexei's past in silhouettes "Wait. I'm not truly sure I'm a good person. Am I really a good person? Am I?"
"I never remember if I ever make mom and dad happy. They already dead in my childhood memories. Never seeing me become adult as I can't save them back then."
"I don't remember if I ever make my sister happy. She always went gloomy everytime I back to hometown. I wish I could be a good big brother for her..."
Box15: Alexei had empty face (with grinning) while Vitaly with broken face behind him, "Am I really a good person who can made everyone happy? Even only for Nina's future?"
Box16: "Am I really a good person for you, my friends?"
Box17: "LYOSHA?!" screamed someone. Alexei looked surprised again (Actually he changed to Vitaly)
Box18: All three friends stared him. Vasily shouted, "Boy, you looked woozy as hell!". Vadim shocked, "You okay there?!"
Box19: Dmitry frowned, "Umm did I accidentally offend you, Lyosha? I'm sorry! I will pull my joke about that guessing, then!"
Box20: Vitaly laughed nervously, "No, no hard feelings, Dima! I only dizzy a bit!"
Box21: Dmitry pouted a bit, "Okay, but you make me scared with that sudden glare", and Vitaly quickly shout, "Aaaahh! I'm so sorry! I really didn't meant that!"
Box22: Dmitry raised his eyebrows while pouring the drink, "Need to talk about it, then? You look troubled?"
Box23: Vitaly take the glass, and lied, "I have some anxiety if I'm good enough to make Nina proud. To be my soulmate, to build such happy future..."
Box24: Vadim said. "You will, of course! Nobody's perfect, but we are all know you always doing your best for her. And in a relationship, you are not maintain them alone and let it all as your burden. I'm sure Nina understand that too."
Box25: Dmitry said "As Vadik implied, means we always behind you too. To help in case you need us. We can help mediating between you and Nina if you are awkward enough". Then Vasily said, "Now just keep doing your best to her. Talk to her. Buy something she like. Be honest with her. Later the happy future will come by itself. Hope this will lessen your worry."
Box26: Vitaly smiled happily, "Such life is hard, but I'm glad you guys here..."
Vitaly said to himself (offscreen), "You do a good person, Alexei. Only too coward until you created the other personality to solve the problem...", with picture of Alexei sleeping at void.
