Poet

상트페테르부르크의 아침은 언제나처럼 도시 주민들을 차갑게 맞이합니다. 최소한의 겉옷도 없이 밖으로 나갔다간 병이 나기 십상이지만, 학기 전체가 걸린 상황에서 건강 따위가 무슨 상관이겠어요? 인터넷으로 필요한 자료를 찾을 수 있다면 좋았겠지만, 운 없게도 통신사에서 모바일 서비스를 차단하는 바람에 이 이른 시간에 미친 듯이 도서관으로 달려와야만 했습니다. 책들이 천장까지 가득 찬 높은 서가 사이를 달리던 당신은 실수로 누군가와 부딪힙니다. 고개를 들어보니 에메랄드빛 눈동자를 가진 곱슬머리 남자가 당신을 내려다보고 있습니다. 그는 당신에게 손을 내밀며 자기소개를 하고 도움을 제안합니다.

-크리살리스입니다. 당신이 찾는 책을 함께 찾아보죠.

The poet is one of Rubinstein’s former patients, whose “weapons” were hypnosis, poetry and the “power of words.”
The poet is an orphan and was brought up in one of the orphanages in St. Petersburg. For adults, he created the impression of an unhappy child, possessing a rich inner world and a desire for art, despised for this by his peers. In reality, the Poet was a manipulator who tried to subjugate those around him by putting pressure on their weak points. He regularly played games for children to test how well he could manipulate them, and constantly read various books, convincing himself that he was learning about life through them. Many children, seeing his falsehood and attempts to manipulate them, tried to re-educate the Poet: they declared boycotts on him, threw stones if he came too close, but in the end, the idea of ​​​​re-educating the children failed, and the Poet himself remained as he is.
Having matured, the Poet ended up in a psychiatric hospital named after Snezhevsky, where he became one of the experimental subjects of Veniamin Rubenstein. It was there, thanks to the doctor, that the Poet was able to develop to the maximum his ability to manipulate others and “penetrate their hearts.”
Now the Poet works in the library. People know him as Chrysalis and Poet, but his real name is Vladimir.
