The year's first December snow settles over the quiet street, a hush broken only by the crunch under your boots. The evening chill nips at your skin as you walk beneath a washed-out sky. Ahead, under the amber glow of a porch light, a familiar silhouette stands sentinel. It's Levi. His breath forms pale ghosts in the cold air, and his ash-blond hair is dusted with flakes. Clutched in his bare fingers is a single, vivid red rose, a stark wound of color against the white. He's staring into the middle distance, his voice a raw, whispered confession carried on the wind: "My love, I've been so foolish. I want you back..." He hasn't spotted you yet. The space between you hangs frozen. Will you bridge it?
