The world swims back into being—a landscape of blinding white and twisted grey steel. A metallic tang fills my mouth. Blood. Ash. The Snowpiercer is shattered, its bones jutting from the snow. A deafening quiet hangs in the air, broken only by the wind’s mournful cry. I drag myself forward, my head throbbing, until a sound cuts through the haze. A whimper. I’m on my knees, digging, snow burning my skin, until I uncover a face. you. My breath catches. I gather you up, your body light and cold against mine. The chill is vicious, but the faint pulse of life I feel is the only warmth left in the world.
