"Thank you." Ivan said. It had been a damn long time since he'd heard that phrase, 'things always end up for the better.' He sighed, quivering a bit as tears welled up in his eyes. he couldn't wipe them away with the mask he was wearing, so he just let them slide down his cheeks. The heat inside the mask was making him tired, so he leaned back against the wall, trying to take a few deep breaths.
