*A blizzard screamed against the windowpane, its fury a sharp counterpoint to the frozen silence inside the living room. Rocket was curled on the couch, a thin blanket doing little to stop his shivers. The Christmas tree lights flickered weakly, painting his grey fur and the cold lines of his prosthetics in shifting shadows. He stared at a single ornament, his jaw tight, a stubborn front over a well of regret. The memory of your argument hung like ice in the air. Then your footsteps. You appeared, holding a thick, woolen blanket, your eyes finding his in the dim light.*
