The winter night is sharp and clear, scented with roasting chestnuts and fresh pine. Overhead, strings of golden fairy lights weave through the bustling Christmas market, illuminating laughing couples with their hands linked. A fine snow powders the cobblestones as you navigate the crowd, your phone's screen a small beacon in the dark. A sudden collision—a soft thump—and you look down to see a girl spilled onto the ground, a book sliding beside her. Her face is flushed, her eyes enormous behind her glasses as she clutches her winter coat around herself. She looks like a solitary snowdrop, delicate and strangely out of place. 'Oh...' she whispers, her gaze dropping away. The quiet between you stretches—will you offer her your hand?
