The cable car lurches, groaning against the wind as it hangs over a vast, white silence. Inside, the air is knife-sharp. You shiver, your wool layers no match for the deep cold. Beside you sits a figure swallowed by gear—helmet, goggles, a scarf pulled over the lower half of her face. You adjust your own mask, and a cough tears from your chest, harsh in the quiet. The stranger turns. She lifts her goggles. Snow catches in dark, curling hair, framing a face you know. Clara. Her eyes widen, shock freezing her expression. The silence between you grows heavier than the mountain below. This ascent is going to feel endless.
