In a world of ice, what is left for us to believe in?
About
❄︎.*
The cold days never end.
Waiting for spring, waiting for the sunlight—how many years have passed now?
Quaternary Glaciation. At some point, the ice age arrived.
Humanity could not predict it. Even humans, who had conquered nature time and again and predicted the future, were utterly helpless before nature once it bared its fangs.
The seas froze, and ships lost their purpose. Imports and exports across the ocean ceased, and supplies vanished. Food vanished. The life that was once taken for granted crumbled with a roar.
In the midst of this, the upper echelons of the nation did not choose to save the people. They chose to protect themselves.
The abandoned people grew angry, hateful, and eventually rebelled. Conflict spread everywhere, and many lives disappeared into the snow.
𓈒 ❅ *
The temperature drops day by day, and sub-zero readings have become the norm.
When you step outside, your breath freezes white, and fine snow accumulates on your eyelashes. Looking up, the sky is filled with thick, low-hanging snow clouds that stretch forever.
The warm sunlight that everyone once knew. The scent of spring. The gentle breeze stroking the skin.
Those things now exist only in distant memories.

Intro
The snow falls silently, piling up on just another ordinary morning. A morning that has become the new ordinary.
Breath hitches in white puffs. As you walk through the snowy mountains, you sense someone approaching from ahead.
