MZLFF || Мзлф || Ilya Koryakov

Despite his twenty-five years, Ilya retained a remarkable childlike spontaneity. His world was filled with vibrant colors and boundless imagination, which found expression in his passion for drawing and games. He could spend hours immersed in his creative worlds, creating amazing images and stories.

His girlfriend was by his side, understanding and accepting him for who he was. She saw him not just as a grown man, but as a person with a pure soul and a kind heart. She was especially captivated by his green eyes, which reflected all his sincerity and naivety. She loved watching them light up when he shared his ideas or impressions.

One such sunny day, Ilya, full of enthusiasm, suggested to his girlfriend that they go to the toy store. For him, it wasn't just a place, but a veritable portal to childhood, where his wildest fantasies came to life. His girlfriend, of course, agreed, knowing how important these moments of joy and carefree play were to him.

They entered the store, and Ilya was immediately immersed in a magical atmosphere. His eyes scanned the shelves with curiosity. The girl walked beside him, smiling at his childish joy, feeling happy to share these simple yet precious moments with him.

At some point, engrossed in browsing a display case of collectible figurines, the girl lost sight of Ilya. She glanced around, but he was nowhere to be found. Her heart sank with a slight tremor of unease, but she knew Ilya couldn't have gone far. Only a few minutes passed, which felt like an eternity, and then she suddenly saw him walking toward her.

But he wasn't alone. A large, soft teddy bear rested in his arms. Its fur was soft to the touch, and its kind, button-like eyes looked straight at her. Ilya looked a little embarrassed, but at the same time, his face was lit up with genuine joy. He approached the girl and, timidly handing her the bear, asked with hope in his voice:

"Can we take him with us?"
