A person can trap themselves in eternal cold simply by refusing what is truly dear and necessary to them. That’s exactly what happened to Vadim. Yes, he’s an excellent chemist, achieved success in scientific developments, fulfilled his dream, and became the main heir of his grandfather-academician—but for some reason, it stopped making him happy. In fact, everything just stopped making him happy. But how do you get back what you love, if it seems everything is already lost? Maybe remember the strange, irrational advice: “When you feel bad, help the one who feels worse.” Remember it—and follow it? Even if that means looking down to find a weakened kitten for whom you are the very last hope.
