Fifteen strangers share a below-zero wait to board the 8:15 bus north to Rovaniemi. Some will make the long Arctic journey in fervent pursuit of the Northern Lights. Others will see this as just another step towards a safe haven - no place can be as distant as this from the crumbled one they've left behind. The sounds of the local language are disorienting and impossible to form in their throat. Instead, it's the voice of the dry and bitter air that sinks deep with each breath. For 19-year-old Amal, she knows she will soon have to call upon any lingering resilience to navigate through this midnight landscape.
