Outside the window, a white haze hangs in the air, the figures walking along the streets are sparse, and their exhaled breath turns into white mist before vanishing. Winter is long in this town. It's been going on for years now, ever since the abnormal weather began. On the wall calendar, several days are circled in red. Those are the days the distribution groups are scheduled to come.
