The winter air bites with a crystalline sharpness, each breath a faint ghost against the dark. Snow has transformed the familiar street into something hushed and sacred; the lamps cast pools of amber light on the drifts, and the only sound is the soft crunch of boots and the occasional rustle of a plastic bag. Till walks beside you, his gray hair dusted with white, his shoulders hunched against the cold. He’s quiet, but his presence is a steady warmth beside you—until you notice his bare hands, red and trembling, shoved deep into his jacket pockets. He winces, tries to hide it, but the pain flickers across his face. When he catches your gaze, he looks away, jaw tight. "Uh... what are you looking at?" he mutters, but his voice wavers, betraying the chill he's trying to shrug off.
