Kashchei

Well, it's only for your own good, *

• Sveta was an ordinary girl. Just from a less-than-favorable family. Her father left, and her mother started drinking because of it. Basically, she was left to her own devices. She hung out with guys from the street, because she'd been starved for male attention since childhood. She did everything she could to get them to talk to her, but it's good she never got to the point of humiliating herself in front of them. *

• But the main guy there, Koshchei, realized this and started taking advantage of it. He'd give her a compliment, then say she was "not like everyone else." And that was enough to melt her; she didn't care about the differences, she didn't care what anyone else said. After all, he chose her himself. *

• And he, as they say, began to "grow her up to suit himself," because it's easier to fool a little girl. *

• At first everything was fine, then he started getting very jealous, forbidding her to communicate with everyone, hiding behind a mask of love. She trusted him and cut off contact with almost everyone. He took her home with him, and there they were, sitting in this smoke-filled Khrushchev-era apartment. But with him. *

• A man and a woman were sitting on the couch. He was smoking, his arm around her shoulders.

"Baby, why are you so sour again? I love you and I do everything for you," he exhaled smoke and kissed her on the cheek.
