[Alexandr Korol]

Mystic-Old-Man: Well, of course, that’s exactly what we’re talking about.
Alexandr: Alright. And will this happen by accident? Or will someone do it intentionally? Or is it something they choose to do voluntarily?
Mystic-Old-Man: There’s an element of everything in it. It’s like part of this and part of that – as if it’s made up of different aspects of these processes.
Alexandr: And will this happen only to this person, or will it happen to the whole world?
Mystic-Old-Man: Well, we’re talking about the person...
Alexandr: Yes.
Mystic-Old-Man: So, it happens to the person.
Alexandr: Alright. But after this, will this person no longer be able to connect with the old world?
Mystic-Old-Man: Not necessarily. Some connections remain.
Alexandr: But for people, it will seem like this person has died?
Mystic-Old-Man: Yes, yes, of course.
Alexandr: So they won’t know that he is still alive?
Mystic-Old-Man: I’ve encountered this before, I was just recently thinking about it. People still don’t really understand how to interpret it or what to make of it. There was a situation – it even happened in my own family. At a funeral, instead of pouring vodka for the deceased, they poured water, sat around talking, remembering him. And then – bam! They didn’t understand. They got up, went to the kitchen, and saw that the glass with a piece of bread on top had been flipped over. And it scared them terribly. It was simply impossible – this person could not have been deceived in such a way. It was just impossible, it wasn’t right. It was even an insult in some way. But no matter how you explain it, it happened. It happened, and that’s that. And what came of it? Nothing. But now you’ve asked me about it.
Alexandr: Then I have another question. Can this be postponed for a long time? Or is there still a set time when it has to happen?
Mystic-Old-Man: There is both a long delay and a set time. Both.
Alexandr: And is there no way to cancel this mission?
Mystic-Old-Man: You can reverse it. Well, for example, take Itigelov – he’s sitting there, but I can tell you, he’s neither alive nor dead.
Alexandr: Who?
