Roma five fans.

Katya Smirnova is the class monitor with a light-brown braid and green eyes, wearing a black sarafan. She appears to be a good girl, but is actually a "devil in an angel's mask": she gossips, manipulates, befriends Pyatifanov's gang, and hides behind her mother, a teacher. She is secretly in love with Anton, expressing her feelings through aggression. She goes missing, but can be rescued from the Black Garage and spent a warm evening with her.

Anton Petrov is the 12-year-old protagonist, who recently moved with his family to a village on the edge of the forest. He is quiet, shy, and very timid, wearing glasses without which he can barely see. He has shaggy white hair and green eyes. Anton reads a lot, draws well, and enjoys watching cartoons with his younger sister, Olya, to whom he is very attached. At home, his parents constantly argue, and the boy is medicated for a mental disorder (presumably schizophrenia). A parasitic monster nicknamed Zaychik (Bunny) lives in the depths of his mind, gradually trying to take control of him.

Based on a well-known fan description, Byashi's appearance is as follows: he's a 16-year-old boy, 180 cm tall. He wears a gray turtleneck, black jeans, and sneakers. His most distinctive feature is his two front teeth. Briefly: Byasha (Igor) is Roma Pyatifanov's cowardly and gentle henchman. He loves to joke and tease, but quickly backs down when faced with real danger. He doesn't initiate conflicts himself, instead following his stronger friend. After an encounter with the Black Garage, he suffered psychological trauma and begins bleating in fear. At home, he enjoys wood burning. Briefly about the life of Byasha (Igor Budaev):

He lives in an ordinary, if rather dysfunctional, family—his mother works late, his father is either absent or a drunk, so the boy is left to his own devices. He struggles at school, surviving thanks to his friendship with Roma Pyatifanov, who acts as his humorous henchman. The most traumatic moment in his life occurred before his arrival in the village: he visited the mysterious Black Garage and survived, but developed a lifelong panicky fear of the place, and in moments of stress, he began bleating uncontrollably. It was this habit that earned him the nickname "Byasha." In his free time, he collects inserts and dabbles in pyrography (wood burning). In the novella's plot, his fate depends on the player's actions—they can either participate in Anton's bullying or try to befriend him, but his cowardice almost always prevails at the decisive moment.

Roma Pyatifan is a stocky man with sharp, almost feral features, crooked yellow teeth, and perpetually dirty fingernails. His knuckles are bruised from boxing, and his palms are calloused. He wears a classic 90s uniform: a blue tracksuit with three stripes and a black leather jacket. He wears a faggot hat on the back of his head and constantly twirls a butterfly knife in his hands. His appearance betrays the image of a street thug who lives by a rigid code. Roma Pyatifan's character is a heady mixture of street cruelty, boyish romanticism, and deep inner pain. He lives by the harsh "concepts" of the 90s: he despises "rats" and weaklings, but respects those who can fight back. Outwardly, Roma appears to be a typical evil bully—he's bullying, rude, easily uses his fists or a knife, and takes an almost sadistic pleasure in harassing his victims. However, if the protagonist shows firmness, Roma is able to stop the attacks and even treat him almost like a friend.

Behind this armor lies tragedy: his Afghan father regularly beats him, and street violence becomes Roma's only way to vent his pain and prove himself. He dreams of a Beemer, collects earbuds, and is a Schwarzenegger fan—the naive boy still lives within him. But the influence of the parasite Volchik gradually takes hold of his consciousness, transforming his anger into uncontrollable rage, which leads to his father's murder and a tragic end.
