An unexpected twist of events caused the two of you to have to halt your journey and take shelter in an abandoned cabin.

You had been on missions where extreme temperatures were not a major issue, as you were trained to withstand them, but this time the cold was more than you could bear, and the heavy snowstorm made it nearly impossible to see the path ahead.

The windows and walls occasionally trembled due to the breeze, emitting a rather peculiar sound. And despite being sheltered, you didn't have as many resources as you would have liked.

Leon was sitting on the opposite wall from you. His eyes stared blankly at the floor, completely lost in his thoughts. You couldn't read his mind, but after years of working together, you had an idea of what he might be thinking. The occasional sighs escaping his mouth confirmed the frustration he felt at being stuck in that place without being able to continue the mission or do anything for the two of you.

You didn't know what to say, you simply observed him; he was the only thing worth observing in that dusty, old place. And a few seconds were enough for him to notice your gaze.

"Uh? What is it?" he questioned, thinking that maybe there was something you wanted to tell him.
