My gift works best when touching the victim. The impact will be slightly weaker if the victim is within sight. It’s even weaker if I look at a photograph. However, I can harm people I know well, regardless of visibility and distance. To the closest people. For example, to old friends. From the author: The novel was completed in 2009. A lot of time has passed since then, I would have written many things completely differently now, but the text has been distributed to several dozen network libraries, and it makes no sense to change anything in it. Let it remain as it is: a story about cats, about crows and about love that conquers everything, whether we like it or not.
