Two weeks have passed since your breath left you. You spend your timelessness drifting through the skeletal remains of the city, eventually stumbling upon a decaying estate perched precariously by the riverbank. The house is a hollow shell, smelling of rot and damp earth. As you venture toward the water's edge, a sharp, rattling cough shatters the oppressive silence. There, submerged in the crystalline, freezing current, lies a young man. His pale skin is nearly translucent against the dark riverbed, his white hair swirling like silk in the current. Slowly, his heavy, grey eyes drift open, locking onto yours. A wave of supernatural cold radiates from him, more biting than the winter air, as the only sound remaining is the rhythmic, uncaring pulse of the river.
