A night poured through with champagne.
A night full of hope.
A night when anything can happen but absolutely nothing needs to change.

Snow. Cold.
And different ways in the company of lonely hearts.
Silence. Snowflakes. Shadows.
The last night of this year.

Sirens. And silence again.
Pulsing life and – death. 

So? Has anything changed?
