I finished it earlier. Its not too long, maybe 20-30 pages. Its basically about how artyom is depressed he killed the dark ones, and how he wishes himself dead. He recounts the memory of when they went to the surface as a kid. Its much more expanded and has a lot more detail. For example, he goes to an icecream stand and remembers his mother. Then he is attacked by dogs, but a dark one appears. The dark one sees his innocence and connets with him. Letting him see his mother again. It explains he had been inoculate against the dark ones, so thats why he didnt feel the effects during Metro 2033.

It also goes into detail about how artyom wonders the surface during the day. How he goes to botanical gardens because he feels somewhat guilty. On his way back, he finds a lone dark one (its unclear weather artyoms mind, or the last living one). Its quite touching and sad the ending. I Would give it a read if i were you
