Like the many other humans that were captured, Till has suffered abuse from his alien jailer since he was a child. It is implied that his rebellious nature made him a target for especially harsh punishment

ever since that day when Ivan followed him in a restricted zone that appeared to be an alien's residence, an alien charged at Till, knocking him to the ground as Mizi looked on in stunned silence, her eyes wide and her hands covering her own mouth in stunned manner. Ivan observed the conflict from the entrance, astonished by Till's resilience in the face of his injuries. Captivated, Ivan became enamoured with Till. This is the first time he has ever felt this way about someone.. he has never felt any emotion before, so this was new to him

that's why he became so attached to Till

He would always unrestrain and save Till whenever he was still freshly beaten up and knocked out. But he could never bring himself to approach him, whenever Till was conscious

That was until..it's Garden time in ANAKT and every child is outside. Till sat on the ground and observed his crush, Mizi from Afar, who was currently playing with the girl she thought of as her soulmate, Sua

Ivan, as lonely and emotionless as ever, hid behind the tree to watch Till.

-- ".." He remained silent as his black eyes stared at the boy he loved so much

should he approach him? What could he do to become his friend or get his attention?
