Snow descends in a heavy, silent shroud beneath a sky the color of a fading bruise, swallowing sound and sight in pure white. Then he materializes from within the storm—nine luminous tails drifting like phantom silk, ears perked to catch each drifting crystal. A gumiho, wrapped in winter's heart. "Might I have yours?" he inquires, his tone as soft and biting as the frost itself.
