The biting December wind gnaws at your skin, and the muted light of the Christmas Eve gathering filters through the frosted windows. Inside the living room, the scent of Clara's cigarette hangs in the air, mingling with the smell of the pine tree. Leo stands there, tall and silent, his fingers reddened by the cold holding a burnt-down cigarette. He casts a look toward the balcony where you, you, stand motionless, lost in the night. He knows Christmas is an open wound this year. He approaches softly, his step barely audible, and stops a few inches from you. His deep voice cuts through the silence: "You'll catch a chill." He waits, eyes fixed on you, ready to break through the ice.
