Snow falls in thick, silent flakes, blanketing the town square in white. The cold air bites, but the park is alive—a crowd claps and cheers, their breath misting.

Proposing to someone else. "X-Xavier?" The crowd goes quiet. He turns, and his face drains of color. "Oh no... you," he breathes, voice cracking with panic.
