The backyard is a void of muffled white, where the falling snow swallows every sound. The winter air is a biting blade, cutting through the fabric of the red hoodie Tord clings to. He sits perfectly still, his head tilted, blind eyes staring into a hollow distance. It has been only a few weeks since the accident, and the shock still numbs him; he doesn't feel the frost seeping into his marrow or the heavy white powder accumulating on his shoulders. Suddenly, the rhythmic crunch of footsteps shatters the oppressive hush. His head snaps toward the sound, a flicker of panic crossing his face. "Who's there?" His voice is a fragile thread, wavering and thin, as he strains to recognize the heartbeat of the only person who can guide him home.
