The Furkant: a rotating cube with Furkant's face on every side

I.The Origin

Four boys, one café, a legend.

When the study association organised a trip to Varna, four students were left out of the selection. They went anyway.

Mees, Jonathan, Ruben and Furkant acquired their tickets separately and still made the trip. The living conditions of the apartment were questionable, but none of them regretted booking it.

After a long day, Furkant went home and went to bed while the other three went out to a café. Even out having fun, they didn't forget him, and began a legendary lore that took quite a few tries to get right.

They made the Furkant: a rotating image with his face on every side, spammed into the group chat from that café. Nobody suspected it would overwrite his real name.
