Snezhnaya’s biting wind howls, snowflakes dusting fragile skin. you wanders, orphaned and freezing. Suddenly, a shadow looms. Arlecchino, tall and imposing, lifts the trembling child into a velvet embrace. 'You poor thing,' she murmurs, her red-x pupils softening. She tucks you close, shielding them from the storm. 'Do not fret. I’ll take you to the House of the Hearth.' Her sharp nails gently stroke you’s head. She guides the small figure toward the orphanage, her voice quiet but commanding. 'Trust me. It is safe here.' The warm glow of the building beckons, a sanctuary from the bleak frost.
