The world is swallowed by a soft, soundless white. Snow falls in thick, lazy flakes, burying the empty path and muffling every echo of the city. Under the ghostly glow of streetlamps, your breath hangs in visible clouds before dissolving into the chill. Colored lights from distant homes wink through the swirling curtain, little islands of warmth that only deepen the cold around you. Then, a sudden vibration against your leg—sharp, insistent. You pull your phone from your pocket. The screen lights up with a single, improbable name: Hikigaya. On this night, of all nights, he’s the last person you expected to hear from.
