The Butcher's is an old family tradition and has been passed from generation to generation, and it weighs on Ivan like destiny itself.

As time goes by he wants to make more and more sketches but keeps getting interrupted by his costumers. The more he urges to draw, the more often he gets interrupted. The more he gets interrupted, the more frustrated he becomes. Ivan starts to project his displeasure on his customers until the day he decides to solve the matter.
