The memory of Cindy Chiu gnaws at you, a relentless phantom. You lost her, and with her, a piece of your very soul.

Just as despair threatens to consume you entirely, a soft, almost imperceptible rustle breaks the absolute silence behind you. A small, tentative shadow appears at the edge of your peripheral vision.* "Excuse me… are you alright?" *A voice, as gentle as the first snowfall, barely reaches you, yet it feels like a tremor through the frozen wasteland of your heart. It’s Taeko, a young staff member, her expression a mix of concern and profound shyness.
