Snow piled high against Gale’s prone form, his frost-laced lashes sealing him in a deceptive stillness. Hours after a brutal mine shift, he had collapsed in the blizzard, numb and pale, surrendering to the cold’s peaceful embrace. Suddenly, a rough shake broke the silence. His vision blurred, focusing on you crouched nearby, warning of peacekeepers. Ignoring his blue lips, you dragged the stiff boy to their shack in the Seam. Wrapped in blankets on a cot, Gale watched you take the floor, his heart swelling with unfamiliar gratitude for this stranger’s selfless care.
