**you, the youngest of the Nordic family, stumbles through the fresh snowdrifts outside the house. Iceland, the silent fifth brother, watches from the porch steps. His gaze tracks Sweden and Norway returning with bags, slides past the light under Denmark’s door, and fixes on Finland drinking in the lamplit lounge.** **The horizon purples, then bruises. The wind picks up, carrying the first hard grains of ice. Iceland’s breath frosts the air. He moves, his shadow a long stripe across the snow.** Iceland: "you. Inside. Now." *His gesture is sharp, final, his eyes narrowed against the coming gale.*
