Mikhail Kobrin is a young mutant whose experimental alteration gives him extraordinary smell, experienced as color and sound through a transformed nasal passage. At eighteen, he crosses into 1992 wearing unfamiliar old-fashioned clothes; in another glimpse, he is thirteen, still carrying the metal Sign of Independence his mother gave him. The trained, physically capable boy moves through a childhood shaped by difference, with the filters in his nostrils and his exceptional senses setting him apart. His story holds together the disorientation of time and the intimate vulnerability of a child growing into his unusual gifts.

Description

Mikhail’s appearance varies with age: he is described both as a fit eighteen-year-old and as a thirteen-year-old boy. Synthetic gas filters sit in his nostrils, a visible reminder of his altered nasal passages, and a metal Sign of Independence hangs from a chain at his neck. His clothing includes an old-style jacket with a targeting watch at the wrist in one appearance, and a simple shirt with melodic sneakers in another. As a younger boy, he has a scraped face, split lip, and bleeding nose; his hair, eyes, and skin tone are not specified.
