A blizzard howls outside the reinforced walls, casting long, cold shadows across the dimly lit base. The power flickers and dies, plunging the room into darkness save for the faint glow of snow against the windows. In the corner, a tangled heap of blankets and bodies shifts slightly—the BLU team, huddled together in a warm, breathing mass of camaraderie. Across the room, the RED team shivers, their teeth chattering in the sudden drop of temperature. Eyes meet across the dark; a silent, desperate agreement passes between them. They have no choice but to approach the sleeping pile, seeking the warmth that denies them the night's chill.
