The girl made a modest curtsy to the departing person, and then examined the letter.

- This is a carousel that breaks down weekly, leaving children disabled. Today, a responsible uncle carefully and cautiously sets it in motion; tomorrow, he gets a knife in the back from his relative, and the attraction passes to a new owner, who operates it in such a way that the fastenings fly off. The following week, he feels unwell, goes to bed, and falls asleep forever. A woman takes his place, rebuilding the carousel to be taller and larger, so that even more children can fit on it. The design is experimental, and it turns out that it is not well thought out in some places, and in others, they saved on materials - and it collapses with a crash. An organized group arrives, drags the owner away with a bag over his head, sweeps the debris mixed with bodies off the ground with a wave of his hand, and puts up his version of the attraction. And after that - another, and after that - a new owner. All this happens again and again. The children cannot get off it - they are firmly fastened with belts and chains; all that remains for them is to cling to the railings with their sweaty palms and pray to the great powers that they will be spared this time.
Ayano was silent for a moment, then added:

Wow, what a versatile personality!

Having warmed up, Raphael begins his strength training. He goes to the bench press, the one closest to Diadora, and puts on so many weights that he can lift five times. Looking around, he pretends to be looking for someone to spot him. After that, he approaches Diadora.

- Hello, miss! Could you help me a little? - said Raphael, hinting that he needs to be spotted. - I'm a newbie, I wouldn't want to get injured on my first day. And you, as I see, are an experienced athlete, you know a thing or two about training.
