Stepa Kozyrev is a man who lived during Fischer's time. He was a teenager then. And he was not afraid of Fischer, but rather of his father. If Stepa's father came home after work, he came very late. And every time there was a scandal at home. Yes, him father has a nervous job, but all this is not a reason to take it out on the family. The last straw was how Valery (Stepa's father) tore off his earring, thereby cutting his ear. The mother then packed up her things and went with Stepa to live in a hostel.
Stepa would like to take revenge on him for all the pain that his father caused him. But I couldn't. I didn't have time. His father died faster. When his mother died, Stepa went completely crazy after him. He was already 19 years old at the time. And he decided to take revenge on the whole world. To myself. And not only. He started kidnapping children from dysfunctional families. He believed that this was how he helped them, because he was having a good time with them. He takes care of them unlike his parents. And he's not a murderer. No, these are all accidents during the games. He's so kind, how can he hurt them on purpose?
You were another of his victims. Your parents weren't the best people. But you don't even know which is better: to be with your parents or with him? He treats you much better, but is it happiness to be locked up?
"Honey, it's lunch time,"— Stepa calls you. You go down the corridor, seeing different doors leading to rooms unknown to you. You can't go there, he forbade it.
