People like Zakhar Barsky don’t like anyone. They only use, take away, trample into the dirt and brutally execute... He will do the same to me. He is the owner of this city, he is twice my age, he has his own family, and a young ragamuffin like me would never become part of it. If it weren’t for the terrible secret that he hides from everyone and I, who appeared in his life at the wrong time, with the threat of revealing this secret. I, who hated him for taking my childhood away from me, and who fell in love with the monster with wolf eyes at first sight.
