Summary
When your perfect life gets shattered in one night, what are you supposed to do? Most people would cry, sobbing until their eyes stung and mourning the decay of everything they once loved. Others might try and bargain with their new reality, doing anything and everything they can to regain what they once had.
Neither of those were an option for Diluc. Not when one event turned everything he knew and was into a sour, bitter aftertaste. The only option he had was trying to burn that taste away, covering it over with ash in the hopes he'd eventually find something in the embers left behind. Rock, sand, grass, they all burned up in two years but could never wash over the taste for good. All that was left was to blaze through snow.
But snow doesn't burn. It melts, evaporates, and then comes right back. Again and again, over and over. Snow means death if you weren't prepared for him, but if you manage to survive with him long enough, you might be able to delude yourself into thinking he was something sweet. Just for a little while.
