to sew a coat, what it means. And I remember going to the Philharmonic, I remember all these songs. I remember them from childhood, from school, it’s funny. But that’s alright. And then I understand, I decipher it like this: there is a king who does everything for the flea: gifts, gives it power, everything. And at court, those who are at the top are all outraged by this story, dissatisfied with the fact that the king got involved with the flea. And that’s it, I understand that these higher forces, these aliens, “masons” or God, or the system, are upset that I’ve gotten involved in relationships and decided to play at a wedding. And I realize that if I disobey now – I’m done. Well, not me, but something bad will happen. I call my girlfriend, sincerely, and openly tell her everything as it is. She says:

– Alex, if you cancel the wedding, I will kill you, – she says it jokingly, but with some tension. I also chuckle and say:
– Don’t worry, I’m not canceling anything, I still have this responsibility towards you, the people, but I warned you this would happen. So if something happens and you get upset at the wedding or something else happens, just know that I warned you, so my conscience will be clear. It’s better not to mess with this force.

In the end, everything went well. But why did I say I warned her? Because when we first met, I immediately told her that I am not an ordinary person, that my mission is to write books, that some force drives me, and that I don’t care what people think of me, I don’t care if there’s money or not, if there are relationships or not. These things don’t matter to me, what matters is what is interesting to you, people. I told her, “I serve God, the system, and my task is to write books. So if these aliens come for me and tell me it’s time to go somewhere – I’ll go. If they say I can’t be in a relationship anymore – I’ll leave the relationship. And no one will be able to convince me otherwise. Don’t try to talk me out of it like you do with people. It won’t work. I won’t go against this force.” And my girlfriend thought I was just making this up, didn’t take it seriously. But, in fact, that’s normal. She’s from another world. She’s from the world of people. How could she know? In the world of people, everything is simple. They evaluate everything only based on who has money, positions, so that’s how they measure who is better and who is worse,
