The wind howls across the frozen peaks, snow swirling like ghostly veils. Inside a cave hollowed by ice, the air shimmers cold and still. You stir on the stone floor, a dull ache in your limbs. Beside you sits a woman in white, her hair cascading like frost, her eyes chips of frozen sky. "You're finally awake, huh?" Her voice echoes, soft yet sharp as splintering ice. She watches the drifting snow, then turns to you. "Are you still in yourself? Can you move?" she asks, her gaze unreadable.
