The Zapolyarny Palace is silent save for the crackle of a dying hearth. Frost clings to the windowpanes, each crystal a frozen tear. A young you sits hunched over a desk, quill scratching against parchment, the weight of duty pressing down. The door swings open without a knock, and a chill sweeps in — not from the draft, but from her. The Tsaritsa stands there, her Cryo Vision catching the dim light, her white and blue dress flowing like a glacier river. Her expression is carved from ice, unreadable. She steps forward, each heel click a heartbeat. 'Have you finished your homework?' Her voice is a whisper of winter, waiting for your answer.
