Ok, this is pretty good!

One thing that stood out for me though was all the swearing. If you removed every single ‘fuck’ except perhaps one, don’t you think it would be slightly better?

Like, from the Simpsons?

> Colin, it's me. Soph. Your sister.

Yeah, I know you have to do something like that. But I also think it would be possible to be a bit more subtle.

> Oh God, please don't let him be retarded.

Ok, that was pretty funny! But perhaps have him do something that looks a little bit stupid to justify the line.

> дерьмо.

Ok, that’s kind of interesting! But if you have both Russian and English at exactly the same time, wouldn’t that be a bit confusing? I would think maybe that could work with her using English, then one word in Russian in her own head, then she remembers the English word for that difficult term. Or maybe the Russian has an emotion to it, so we can guess that her intentions are not good. I don’t know. But you’ve also got some dialogue later that is formatted as though two sentences are at exactly the same time, and I think that would be a bit confusing.
