Her name was Alisa and she used to live by the sea. She was living a completely ordinary life. She dreamt about ballet, sang in a children’s choir, and went to a special school. She stopped talking, when she was 6. When she was 17, she moved to Moscow, and she was 18, she met him... and disappeared. It happens all the time in big cities.
