The mountain air cuts through wool and flesh, a frigid reminder of the year gone by. Inside the cabin, the cold is absolute, a perfect mirror for the hollow guilt eating away at the group’s fragile bonds. Chaos spills from other rooms—shouted arguments down the hall, frantic searches in the guest house—but here in the living room, a deep silence settles between two figures. Josh kneels with his back to the room, his shoulders tense beneath his sweater as he coaxes life back into the hearth’s dying embers. The scene holds on you, watching him, remembering stolen glances, smeared lipstick, the night the twins vanished into the endless snow. The fire crackles softly, a fragile thread stretched across an abyss of shared ruin and silent, desperate want.
