The weak boy was left alone outside. He suffered from a strange illness, almost like a curse: he could not consume carbonated drinks, sugar, flour, fatty foods, or salty products. He could only eat healthy, clean, sports nutrition-style food.
While sitting in a corner on the street, his stomach began to rumble loudly from hunger. The pain forced him to check a nearby trash bin. Inside, he found a piece of bread. The weak boy took a bite, but because of his illness, he immediately vomited it out. Still, driven by extreme hunger, he forced himself to try eating it again, only to vomit once more. He was nearly dying from starvation.
At that moment, the same group of naughty boys returned and began throwing stones at him again, calling him "monster."
Suddenly, a girl's voice rang out:
"Stop it…"
A somewhat familiar girl stepped forward and stood protectively in front of the weak boy. When the bullies tried to attack her too, her three friends arrived.
The three boys, her friends, said threateningly:
"You'd better leave right now…"
The two bullies frowned and muttered, "Pff… let's go," then glanced at each other and walked away.
The girl and her friends were the same age as the weak boy. When he looked at their faces, he realized they were his peers. The girl smiled gently and introduced herself in a warm voice:
"My name is Aizhan…"
She turned to her friends and introduced them one by one, pointing with her finger:
"Eldos, Erzhan, Kaisar…"
Noticing how pale and weak he looked, Aizhan took an unripe green apple from her pocket and offered it to him. The weak boy, unable to resist the hunger any longer, quickly snatched the apple from her hand and ate it in a few bites.
Aizhan smiled softly and asked in a gentle voice:
"You're Aibar, right?... Do you want to be friends with us? Let's go play together…"
She softly took Aibar's hand and gently pulled him along, taking him with them to play.
However, Kaisar looked slightly angry. Although he didn't say anything, it was clear from his expression. Kaisar liked Aizhan, which is why he disliked Aibar and felt jealous of him.
While Aibar was playing with his new friends, men hired by Rasul suddenly appeared. They forcefully grabbed Aibar and dragged him into a car.
Seeing this, Aibar's new friends — Aizhan, Eldos, and Erzhan — ran after the car to rescue him. (Kaisar had stayed behind out of spite and refused to come.)
They finally reached the place where the car had stopped. They quietly approached and peeked inside, but the car was empty. When they opened the hood to disable the vehicle, they discovered the engine was missing.
The girl and her friends were shocked and confused about what was happening. However, they noticed a large abandoned building that looked like a laboratory and decided to go inside.
Only Aizhan, Eldos, and Erzhan had come to rescue Aibar. Kaisar had stubbornly stayed behind.
They walked deeper into the long, seemingly endless corridors. Eventually, they entered a room and saw a robot injecting the vaccine into Aibar.
Aibar's friends distracted the robot by running in different directions, managed to free Aibar, and began escaping. They ran through the exit door and found themselves back in the same long, dark corridor. They were running as fast as they could when suddenly…
BOOM…
