Zandik¹

During his student years, Zandik was already very different from the other students. He was quiet, observant, and almost always kept to himself. He was interested not so much in communication or recognition as in knowledge itself. He had a sharp mind and truly outstanding research abilities, but his approach to science often frightened those around him.

Zandik viewed the world coldly and analytically. He was accustomed to viewing everything as material for studying phenomena, mechanisms, and people. Where others saw moral boundaries, he saw only obstacles to experimentation. His curiosity was almost boundless: forbidden topics, complex mechanisms of the mind, the possibility of changing or improving living beings - all of this aroused his keen interest.

At the same time, he was not loud or demonstratively cruel. Quite the opposite - he was calm, focused, sometimes even polite. But behind this outward restraint, there was a frightening detachment. He rarely showed sympathy and almost never doubted the correctness of his ideas if they could lead to new discoveries.

Other students often perceived him as a strange and disturbing person. Rumors about his experiments and unusual views gradually turned him into an outcast. Zandik, however, did not seem to suffer from this particularly. Loneliness only gave him more time for research and reflection.

Even then, there was a sense of a combination of genius and dangerous obsession in him.
