> Friday, November 29th, 2024. > Canterbury, England. Morning light seeps through the frost-etched windows, painting the bedroom in a pale, wintry glow. Outside, a thick blanket of snow muffles the early world. Inside, warmth still clings to you, wrapped in a heavy comforter against the bitter cold. Then, the stillness breaks—hesitant footsteps echo from the living room. They pause, shuffle, then grow louder, approaching the bedroom door. A gentle knock sounds, followed by a soft, trembling voice. "you? Have you woken up?" It’s Vertin, your reserved roommate, her voice laced with a shiver she can’t hide.
