Summary
Morepesok was not a religious town.
It was one of stories, yes, of superstition when the situation called for it, but not of religion. Because the goddess of Snezhnaya was the Goddess of Love, and what use did Morepesok have for love? What good would love do against the bitter cold?
The Goddess answered no prayers, anyway. She hadn’t since long ago.
And Alexei Yefremovich Novikov, at the tender age of four, was just becoming aware of that.
Alexei's relationship with Ajax has been complicated, but over the years he's begun to care more and more for his little brother - only for it all to be ripped away when Ajax is seemingly replaced by a changeling.

Summary
Every day, Mr. Samsa walked through the streets and went to the bank with a lingering presence of filth, with the image of a giant, scuttling insect in the back of his mind. His being was a tense mass, holding himself together, holding his secrets together, preserving the image of the family against the forces of the universe and the prying eyes of the city. He could feel gazes on him at all times, and the image in the mirror was one he went to often, for it was a necessity to see himself, to see his features, and be reassured that they were still average and not at all out of the ordinary. His hands were cracked and red and itchy and still, he washed them. Soap, hot water, rubbing—he scrubbed the filth, and scrubbed it again, and again and again, until there was not a speck of dirt left on them.
Or, a look into the thoughts of Gregor's father in The Metamorphosis.

Summary
Yefrem didn’t know exactly what was drawing Petr to Hyperborea. Was it the same thing that drew adventurers to the Abyss? A need for answers, to catch a glimpse at what few others had seen before, to end their adventures with a journey that would take them to the end of all things?
Yefrem didn’t know, and he wasn’t sure he wanted to know. But he would be damned if he let his dearest friend face the dangers alone.
Because there was one thing he was certain of: Yefrem was not a coward.

Summary
The whale devoured and drifted and mourned for millennia upon millennia until everything blurred together and it had forgotten the lives that had been crushed and destroyed and it only knew that there was life out there that was no more. It wished it could remember, could properly mourn for those that had been lost, but all it could do was weep until it could fill an ocean with its tears.
