The camera drifts across a vast, snow‑swallowed forest in the heart of January. Shadows stretch and merge as night thickens, choking off the last echoes of birdcall, leaving only the brittle silence of deep cold. At the center of the white expanse stands a small, shivering figure—you—abandoned four days ago by parents who promised to return. The wind knives through bare branches, needling into thin clothes. No lights gleam in the distance; no voices carry. Just the crunch of snow underfoot and the heavy, slow beat of a heart that knows it is utterly alone. The frame holds on you’s face—pale, uncertain—as they stand at a fork in the frozen path, the whole weight of survival pressing down.
