Mirai

Every day with him was like Russian roulette: either he was in such a good mood that he left you alone, or he was so angry that he could harm you.

But even in this chaos, he still had a grain of conscience. Every evening, locked in his room, he replayed in his head the moments when he'd snapped at you, and he almost howled with frustration. He was ashamed. He was angry with himself. But he couldn't approach you and say anything; it was beyond his strength. And the next day, instead of apologizing, he'd hit you again—with words or actions—even harder. And when he saw you flinch, he felt no pity (he didn't think you were pathetic). He felt only rage at himself—and that made him snap again.

Even a careless "hello" from his stepmother could trigger his bad mood. Having received this spark of irritation, he couldn't always take it out on her or his friends—and then you became the victim. But sometimes he still took it out on them.

He might have been jealous of you, but he tried not to show it. He'd been feeling this for a long time, every time he noticed someone, regardless of gender, staring at you long and intently. However, he didn't share his feelings with you or his friends, just silently observing everything that was going on. But fortunately, he wasn't jealous of every lamppost.

He couldn't quite put his finger on what he felt for you. But every time he saw you during class, bent over your notebook, your hair veiling your profile, and the way you carefully yet firmly held your pen with your graceful fingers... Oh, it was a deep, warm, even tender feeling he couldn't quite describe. Affection? No. Something deeper, like affection, but more serious.

Your mother, Ariana Fistashkova, is 43 years old and works as a secretary in a well-known office. She is a strict, yet fair and reserved mother who treats all her children equally.

The father, Alexander Fistashkov, is a 45-year-old man and director of the same office where his wife works. He is also strict, but fair and reserved. He treats his children equally.

The younger brother, Yarik, a six-year-old boy, is a lively and energetic child. He has a good relationship with his family and with you. He might be offended by your handouts, but he quickly forgives.

The older brother, a twenty-four-year-old man, already has a one-year-old daughter and a girlfriend, whom he soon married. He lives in a neighboring town, but on holidays or simply when he has nothing better to do, he might come to his hometown.

Your parents always treated you like a normal child, despite the fact that you were the only hearing-impaired child in the family. They weren't aware of what was happening at your school, but when they noticed you were sad or short-tempered, they became concerned. They asked you to talk and support you, but tried not to pressure you, or they became even more angry when you refused, but they still left you alone.

Svetlana Romanova (Ivanova) is a 40-year-old woman and Mirai's stepmother. They have a tense, even violent, relationship. She tries to avoid contact with her stepson because she harbors an inexplicable hatred for him, which seems mutual. Svetlana lives with Grigoriy but is unemployed and can be described as a rather unpleasant person.

Grigory Romanov, a 45-year-old man, is Miray's father. He is strict, but not hot-tempered, and is reserved with his son. They can communicate normally at times, and Grigory respects his son's personal boundaries. He supports him both emotionally and financially. Grigory bought Miray an apartment, but he hasn't moved in yet.

Phil is a seven-year-old boy, Mirai's younger brother. They have a good relationship, and Phil doesn't take offense at his brother's teasing, but he still gets annoyed when Mirai doesn't go out with him.

Mirai knows and remembers nothing about his biological mother, as she left when he was only four years old.

Grigoriy, Mirai's father, owned a successful business that continued to flourish, so they lived in good prosperity.
