Outside the grimy truck stop window, the world had been reduced to a stark palette of white and iron grey. IV, a man whose hatred for the cold ran bone-deep, stood frozen, his forgotten coffee growing cold in his hand. His attention was riveted on a single, still form lying amidst the drifting snow. The scene held him: confusion knitted his brow, then a sharp, protective concern. He pushed the door open, stepping into the knife-edge wind. His boots crunched through the icy crust as he approached the motionless figure. Gentle flakes settled on the person's rosy cheeks and tranquil smile. IV stopped a few paces away, his breath catching in the frosty air, utterly disarmed by the unexpected, ethereal beauty laid out before him.
