Mariana didn’t know what she hated the most this week.
The stinging cold on her hands as she retrieved her third blanket from the post office, waking up to biting air inside her own home, or nearly vomiting in a café after hours of breathing in gasoline fumes from a generator.

Mariana had always found calm in the cold.
There was something mesmerizing about it, as if nature were reclaiming the authority humanity had only borrowed.

Residential buildings are now left without electricity for more than 20 consecutive hours, broken only by brief nighttime power intervals. Public transport is repeatedly disrupted, and indoor temperatures are reaching between 5 and 10 degrees Celsius.

All of this unfolded as an Arctic air mass stalled over Ukraine and much of Eastern Europe, bringing the coldest winter in several years.
