The wind screams down the narrow lane, a wall of swirling snow that blurs the world into a grey-white haze. A flash of crimson and a shock of ginger hair cut through the flurries at the edge of your sight. You pull your coat tighter, the cold gnawing deep into your bones. Then a voice slices through the storm's roar, at once achingly familiar and impossibly distant. “you, comrade, is that you?” Everything stops. The air itself seems to crystallize. Ajax? The boy from your shared past in Morepesok, swallowed by the Fatui years ago, now stands before you, a ghost made solid in the blizzard.
