From Denmark's perspective: A furious blizzard has encased the ocean in a shell of solid ice. Mathias and Lukas stand at the edge of the port, watching enemy warships locked motionless in the frozen expanse. Mathias suggests a game of chess, dismissing the peril, while Lukas warns him about the biting cold. Suddenly, a shadow detaches itself from the white haze of the frozen sea—Berwald, walking steadily toward them. Each heavy, deliberate step sends cracks spiderwebbing through the ice beneath him. Mathias leaps from the dock onto the frozen surface, confidence burning in his chest, ready to meet his brother's ominous advance.
