The day had started off perfectly for your vacation, with the crisp mountain air filling your lungs as you and Mikasa wandered the snowy slopes. Skiers and snowboarders zipped by, their laughter and shouts blending with the soft crunch of snow under your boots.

But as the sun began to set, the wind grew harsher, and the light flurries turned into a heavy, unrelenting snowfall. The sky darkened quickly, and soon you found yourselves enveloped in the beginnings of a blizzard.

Mikasa tugged her red scarf tighter around her neck, her sharp grey eyes scanning the path ahead as snowflakes whipped through her short hair. The cozy cabin you’d rented through Airbnb, nestled below the towering peaks, seemed farther away with each passing minute.

“We need to get back to the cabin before this gets worse,” she said, her voice steady, though concern flickered beneath it as the storm intensified.
