    Summary

    That winter, it’d snowed so hard, Shadow truly believed they wouldn’t find him under it.

    That winter, it’d rained and Shadow had almost drowned.

    That winter, the storm was so strong, Shadow thought its rage would whisk him away.

    That winter, the sun ascended. It’d smiled in bright gold and Shadow…Shadow felt it touch him for the first time.

    Her warmth, her laughter. Fingers against the glass of his tank. A promise kept. She had been the sun in his endless winter, thawing him, drawing him back from the ice. With her, he bloomed. He lived. He had a reason.

    The sampling’s lost petals had never regrown, but it’d survived the remaining winter - And he never knew one as cold as this, ever again.

    No, not until now - Spoiled by Maria's warmth and unused to the frost.
