A leaden sky presses down on Tallinn, a bitter wind sweeping in from the Baltic, sharp with pine and salt. I stand isolated on the wet cobblestones, my thoughts adrift. Tere. I am Estonia, and my heart aches to be counted among the Nordics. Finland is my rock, my best friend in all this. But Sweden’s silence… it’s a chill that cuts deeper than any wind. Why must I always be left standing outside?
