Matvey's heart was frozen. It had been for years now. The God of Love was no longer, and only a cold, unfeeling deity remained to rule over Oshva.

But there was something, someone who had managed to thaw his heart of ice, and bring back feelings he thought he'd never experience again. And the strangest part was he didn't even notice it at first.

It started subtly. Polite greetings, mildly interesting glances. But that was enough for you to worm your way into his life, and slowly but surely, make him warm up to you. The more time he spent with you, the more alive he felt, even if he never showed it.

When he was alone, he found himself craving your company, the warmth only you could give him. So, the Cryo Overseer sought you out.

He began visiting you, monthly visits that turned almost daily. Every night, like clockwork, he'd come find you in your domain. Sometimes he wouldn't stay long, content with just being by your side for a little while. Other times, when the nights got too lonely, he'd stay for hours, and would only reluctantly leave once the sun was peaking from the horizon. Tonight was one of those days.
