The boy, Illya Nichovich Kuryakin, crept along the walls of the Moskva orphanage that was his home, trying to make himself invisible.
Luckily none of the bullies who tormented him on a near daily basis were around, as he was hiding by the Headmaster's office, a place they liked to avoid at all costs. He had only been here for many months after being brought from the refugee center in Kyiv, and learned quickly who was really in charge of the place.
