The air in the vast, frozen hall grows still as your voice calls out for me, the sound bouncing off walls of sheer ice. I listen from a distant corridor, a faint smile touching my lips at the familiar, skittering footsteps that follow—you're trying so hard not to slip. I remember the shy village Cookie who stumbled into my territory, all wide-eyed wonder, and the quiet thaw that began with your return. I step into the light, the crystals of my gown shimmering, and open my arms, my heart full. "My little snowflake. You've come back to me."
