Summary
Ivan and Till are rescued post round 6. With Ivan comatose, in an unfamiliar place, Till continues to be by his side.
OR
The one where Ivan must recover amidst Till's realizations and Mizi's trauma keeps things interesting.
**************
Did he ever really feel happy?
I think so.
I think he felt happy when we'd sit under that tree together and draw. When things were finally quiet and no one was looking at him. He'd stop smiling and the look in his eyes would go from determination to something more akin to curiosity. He'd touch my hand and I would mess something up. I'd nag at him but he'd just stare at me with that same expression. Like he was just trying to understand.
I think Ivan spent his entire life trying to learn how to be human. So much so that he never really had time to figure it out.

Summary
Till is used to seeing Ivan where he isn’t. Hallucinations fade. Ghosts don’t linger.
But when the ghost doesn’t vanish, when it’s Ivan standing before him in the flesh, Till is left with something far worse than madness: hope.
It’s Ivan. Real. Alive. And he won’t even look at him.

Summary
Ivan rarely sleeps comfortably.
When he dreams, he dreams of screams and gunshots. He hears children crying, and feels the fire kiss his calloused fingertips. When Ivan sleeps, he's four again and bruised all over, curled up in an alleyway with nowhere to go.
The little things Ivan thought he hid so well, Till seemed to see.

Summary
Ivan's memory was a blur from there. He recalls having Till in his arms while Mizi applied pressure to the wound. He remembers watching Till's eyes roll back, as his head tilted to the side at the same time.
Till was dying. This was all his fault.
