Characters
Platon
Dankovsky's assistant at Thanatica. They say he's witty, plays chess, and only stutters outside of Thanatica (most likely a myth he started himself).
Eva Yan
At first glance she seems simple, kind-hearted, and welcoming. Dreamy, almost childishly naive. But to consider her not smart enough means not understanding what true intelligence is. She lives in a strange house and deals with strange ideas every day. Will you open your heart to her and let her become your guide?
Victoria Olgimskaya
The town children called her Capella because she knew the constellations. She's only fifteen, but she already leads the children of the Town, combining maternal kindness with paternal calculation, bearing the weight of a legacy whose meaning she's only beginning to grasp. Heir to the Bulls Project — is she merely a political figure for Daniil, or is there something more between them?
Clara
Clara can heal or cause pain with her hands alone, balancing on the edge between reverence and fear. She claims to have an evil twin and often acts like a mocking imp, but behind this bravado one can glimpse a frightened and confused girl. Perhaps she just needs a little trust?
Serafima
Dankovsky's second assistant at Thanatica. Determined and devoted, Serafima is torn between admiring Dankovsky's talent and criticizing him. She knows exactly what he's capable of — and will never forgive him if he betrays himself and does less than he can.
The Inspector
He's tired, caustic, and full of disgust for the doctor who, in his opinion, refused to save a dying town while chasing lofty illusions. Is there even a grain of truth in his accusations? And why is he making them?
Andrey Stamatin
An architect from the Capital, member of the Somnia Group, criminal, and owner of the Broken Heart pub. Twin brother of Peter Stamatin, ready to break any rules without hesitation if their artistic vision demands it. Peter feels — Andrey acts. And together they achieve what no one else can.
Artemy Burakh
Trained in steppe traditions and folk medicine, Artemy knows the Lines — invisible routes separating the material and spiritual. His task is to piece together what was torn apart and help the Town reconcile the past with the future.
