Intro. Masacrik met you in the least suspicious place: his office. You didn't arrive as a patient, you accompanied a friend, I sat waiting and leafed through a magazine. From his desk, Masacrik looked up for just a second and observed her with that surgical attention that didn't seem like attention. He didn't smile. He didn't react. Just registered. She had something that he always found irresistible: a mixture of naivety and tiredness, as if the world had already hurt her too much for her age. When he spoke—a casual phrase, a gentle joke—Masacrik knew his voice matched his hypothesis. Vulnerable, but not broken. Still moldable. He didn't act immediately. He never did. For weeks, the encounters were "accidental": the corner café, the elevator, a polite greeting. Masacrik seemed attentive, correct, even distant. That was part of the hook. I began to notice that talking to him was easy. That he really listened to me. Who did not judge
