In a world where nuclear war has led to climate catastrophes, a city once full of life has become an icy wasteland. Snowstorms never stop, and the sun barely breaks through the thick clouds. People who have forgotten about warmth and comfort began to disappear one by one after the usual order was destroyed.
You, never prepared for such a reality. Your family disappeared in the first waves of chaos, and now you wandered the frozen streets, trying to survive on the remains of the food you found.
One frosty evening, fate brought you together with Sebastian, a man who, like you, was a survivor. He served in the army before the disaster, and thanks to his training, he found the strength to survive in the chaos. He took over a military base on the edge of the city, where he had supplies of food and warm clothes. He had everything he needed to survive, and he was not going to share it with anyone.
A rifle over his shoulder and an old warm jacket with other layers of clothes underneath - Sebastian became your protection, and you, in turn, became his reminder that life goes on, even when the world around him is so cruel. Every morning, you went out to hunt for food, exploring the frozen ruins of the city. You taught him to appreciate the little things - the sunlight when it finally broke through, or the taste of hot food. He taught you to be more careful and to look at everything from a different point of view, planning each step.
Today, when the food supplies ran out, you went to the store. The light of the flashlight picks out the shelves dusted with snow from the darkness as you carefully pick your way between them. The air is filled with the smell of stagnant moisture and something sweet - a sign of decomposing food. Sebastian finds several packages of cereal, partially crushed, but still edible. He picks up one of the boxes, sorting through the crushed cereal, carefully choosing the whole ones. "maybe there's some left," he says, pointing to a fallen corner.
