Downstairs, a brawl suddenly broke out between some of Senya 's acquaintances.
Senya watched the brawl, but without much interest.
Downstairs, under the balcony, friends appeared and began to comment on what was happening.
Eventually, Senya went down to the place of events, and, encouraged by friends, began to reconcile the parties to the conflict ("I will reconcile you!"). Sometimes, for variety, for a change, he participated in reconciliation himself ("I want to be reconciled!").
All this lasted quite a long time, after which Senya found that his clothes were pretty much trashed. The clothes were not adapted to participate in the brawl. Also, the parties to the conflict and friends periodically grabbed Senya by the clothes.
In addition, one of the participants in the conflict began to look at Senya very unkindly and utter some threatening words.
At that moment, the postman approached the scene and asked if the apartment was located here under the number needed to him.
The postman named Senya 's apartment number.
Senya explained that this was his apartment number and asked what was the matter.
The postman handed him a paper inviting him to a meeting of the Council for Local Self-Government.
It became clear that the brawl had lasted so long that the Council for Local Self-Government decided to consider Senya 's behaviour.
Senya unwittingly raised his head and looked at the balcony...
It was good to stand on the balcony and watch from above at the fuss that took place downstairs...
It is left to decide: what to do next...
