The man behaves like a typical homeless person: always looking for the best place to spend the night; thanks everyone who treats him with food or gives him hryvnia. His name is Eric Moody and he is American. He has certain mental disorders, but this person is calm and does not cause problems for anyone.

How did he get here? According to him, the man lived in Kyiv, but had problems with drugs there, and was even in prison for this. With the outbreak of a full-scale war, he was transported to Lvov. Why were they released? Unclear. It is also unknown why he moved to live in Ukraine.

The American Embassy knows about him. Although Eric does not have any documents with him, they seem to be ready to help him. However, the problem is that he is afraid - he has a certain mania: they say, he will be caught by “American intelligence services.” Therefore, the embassy cannot forcibly do anything with him.

Thus, Eric has been living on the street for more than a year. Recently, he found a place for himself under the noisy central Lviv street in the underground passage on Mytna Square, where there were once kiosks. The mayor's office plans to open a street gallery here, but in fact now there is a void there that can shelter people without a roof from rain and snow.

Thanks to one kind person, Eric was able to stay warm for several days and get himself in order. However, then he was forced to go outside again. This is how he lives - from mercy to mercy.

Despite the foul smell and hungry eyes, Eric clearly explains that he is an engineer by training and that his dad, Ronald Paul Moody, was a professional military man who died several years ago.

But he refuses to talk more about why he chose this path and why he doesn’t want to return home. Or he explains in a very confusing way: they say he was robbed and he doesn’t trust the authorities.
