Have you ever thought about what fiction is? Probably, such a question may seem surprising: and so everything is clear. Every person throughout his life has to repeatedly create the works he needs for specific purposes - statements, autobiographies, dictations - using not gypsum or clay, not musical notes, not paints, but just a word. At the same time, almost every person will be very surprised if he is told that he thereby created a work of fiction, which is very different from visual art, music and sculpture making. However, everyone understands that a student's essay or dictation is fundamentally different from novels, short stories, news that are created by professional writers. In the works of professionals there is the most important difference - excogitation. But, oddly enough, in a school literature course, you don’t realize the full power of fiction.

- What crisis? We’re talking turn of the century, the good ol’ days.
- Sexist comment.
- Sexist or not, it’s a fact.
- Really? Did someone do a census and never tell me about it?
- As if you’ve looked it up.
- No, but just going on what I’ve heard here and there.

a yes or no. Deep down they’d rather it was never even posed, because nothing good ever came of it (it could ruin a relationship far more effectively than any se-ductress), only bad (it made everyone involved stress over whether they met the prerequisite requirements). He relied on the naïve point of view that humanity needed, after four million years of uninterrupted pres-ence on the planet, billions of romantic relationships since then, ten of which give or take in Babis’s life, to fall in love in the same exact way, regardless of time and place. Regardless, also, of any scientific discov-ery. Like the one, for example, about the heart being nothing but a pump circulating blood after all.
Anyway, did they love each other, yes or no, they asked again. Not in the strict sense of the word, I guess, they jointly admitted. The way that she was abandoning him, the way that he had allowed himself to be aban-doned, the way he had abandoned every effort to stop her from abandoning him, well, whichever way you look at it, these were, if perhaps not conclusive indica-tors, sufficiently nevertheless prima facie. Now, in the broad one…
Even so, he had no intention of shedding crocodile tears because she was leaving. That’s why, when Lila, after bidding him farewell, truth be told without any
