How do you live a life shaped by sporadic destruction and fatal randomness? What happens when you adapt, start living instead of only surviving? When the absurdity of war becomes your new normal, sometimes even without you realizing it, something shifts.
When instead of stars, you trace exploding bombs in the night sky, or grow fond of the sound of shelling, something has changed. The stories of people adapting, not only to live, but for a different form of survival, without much ability to question as to whether what they are adapting to is liveable to begin with.
