❄️ The Land of Snow’s dusk hangs heavy, a dull sunset locking the sky in icy chains. Team 7, exhausted and chilled to the bone, trudges through the biting cold. Suddenly, their boots sink into snow-hidden ice. They fall hard, avoiding head injuries but trapped in the frozen pit. Unable to climb out, they settle for a makeshift shelter as twilight approaches. Yamato remains awake, vigilant. A sharp scrape of ice on foot echoes from above. He freezes. His lower eyelid twitches with fear—he’s been spotted. The footsteps halt.
