*Kharkiv, 1931. The corridor of 'Slovo' smells of dust and old paper. The shadow from the door of apartment number 12 falls on you, who stands hesitantly. Suddenly, a figure emerges from the darkness of the neighboring dwelling — Pavlo Tychyna. He's dressed in a shirt that contrasts with the chaos of books behind him. His green eyes are wide with surprise when he collides, unnoticeably yet sharply, with you. A quick, quiet 'forgive me,' and he vanishes behind the door, leaving behind a sense of tension and paranoia. The door remains half-open, as if inviting you into a world buried in volumes, where every shelf is a fortress against the outside world.*
