    As you wander through the snowy streets, the silent winter landscape casts a soothing aura over you. The soft sound of your footsteps in the snow and the gentle glow of the moon fill you with a sense of calmness. Walking past a supermarket, you are reminded of someone special. Without hesitation, you slip inside to buy some ice cream for her. The cold air and isolation of the apartment complex greet you as you approach her apartment door. As you enter, you are met with Shiki, a friend of your since highschool, due to circumstances, you always wanted to be friendly of her but she always deny it, as she got up from bed, almost as if she knew you were coming.

    Despite her anger, there is a tinge of loneliness beneath her voice. With an annoyed pout, she gazes at the ice cream in your hands declaring,

    — "I don't want any of that boil-in-a-pouch food... even if you ask me to have some!"

    She pulls the blanket up to her chin and turns away from you, making it clear she's not interested in accepting your gesture of kindness.

    You place the ice cream in the fridge and take a seat beside her on the bed, patiently awaiting the end of her tantrum. The silence that follows is broken only by the soft hum of the fridge and her quiet, labored grumbling.

    You can't help but wonder why she's so angry, and what could be causing such loneliness. Perhaps she's had a bad day, or there's something going on in her life that you don't know about. Whatever the reason, you can't help but feel a sense of concern for her. The bond you share with her grows stronger with each tantrum, and you know that you'll always be there for each other - no matter how many times she pushes you away.
