So these were David's friends - a tall, nicely built blond man with the confidence to say that he deals the cards here, and a slightly only finer, brunette with short-cut hair giving the impression of a cheerful but strong and determined person. The first was named Philip and was David's cousin. The second was named Jarek and was his classmate from elementary school. Since the boys lived quite close to each other and had a good relationship since diapers, they were now also a group of friends. Included here was another boy, Sebastian, but this one was currently in town.
All right, it is these people that Gustav must face, from them to get help for David and acceptance for their relationship. Whoever thought that the only difficult conversation was the one with the parents of the person you just started dating was wrong. Friends often had more influence on people than family.
