The appearance of people was a serious, if I may say so, stressful event, especially for the young Lykovs. It would be fine if they had to see and communicate with any of the people. But this is a special case. The two elders, Savin and Natalya, saw and remembered people, but practically did not have to communicate with them. The younger ones, Agafya and Dmitry, as I already wrote, have never seen people. Naturally, they could not truly imagine the faces of people, clothes, the manner of communication with each other, etc. Of course, they knew a lot about people from the stories of their parents, but throughout their lives they were inspired:
- With peace we cannot. And at once, like a snow on their heads, four people: three men and one woman. People, from whom they had been hiding all their lives, suddenly found themselves nearby, and not with some bad intentions, but with kindness and respect. One can only guess what the Lykov sisters, especially Agafya, experienced when these people boldly and at the same time modestly entered their gloomy home.
For Savin and Dmitry, this event took place as if with preparation. As soon as the geologists who came for the first time left, Karp Osipovich immediately informed his sons that people had found them. He probably told them in detail about everything that had happened, and about how to behave, etc. In a word, the secret life was over, and now it was necessary, whether they wanted it or not, to adapt to a different way of life.
