He learned to gauge the level of danger by the sound of a bottle being opened. Stolichnaya – bad, but bearable. His father drank it slowly, savoring it, and by midnight he'd just fall asleep in his armchair. Russky Standart – worse. He drank that one fast, barely eating anything with it, and that's when the talks would start. And then there was Pertsovka (the pepper vodka). His father only drank that on his darkest days. Then he wouldn't talk at all. Ilya hated Pertsovka. It didn't just smell of vodka – it smelled of fear, sticky and sweet, like his mother's valerian drops. Or: Ilya's childhood.
