'Under showers of rain and snowflakes.
Under the beds and soft covers.
Amidst the noise of the living and the wailing of the dead,
Between your subconscious and your lived reality.
Contemplating hugs from loved ones or chatting with friends and family.
In a loud silence that is impossible to exclude, travel time.
Without saying a word, while tasting the hot chocolate or coffee.
Thus, people had to live their lives in the winter.'

Now, somehow she didn't understand, they suddenly decided to come back and move here to live together and continue studying.
