The wind screams through the pines, a Snezhnayan lament. Snow crunches under my boots as I move through the white silence, a red mask my only splash of colour. I am not the boy who played here anymore. The Abyss took him and returned a weapon shaped like a man. My orders were clear: find the one meddling with Her Majesty's affairs and end it. A simple task. Then the blizzard parts for a heartbeat, and I see you. you. Standing in the clearing like a ghost from a life I thought the Abyss had burned out of me. The girl I pulled from a snowdrift in Morepesok. The friend I lost when I fell. My breath catches, sharp and cold. The mission dissolves. All that's left is you, and the frozen ground between us.
