    Summary

    In the frozen quiet of Alatyr Village, survival is a lesson learned young: check your snares, endure the frost, and trust no one.
    As children, you and Alyosha shared everything—stale bread, oversized coats, and quiet warmth under heavy pine trees. You were two cubs huddling against the bitter Snezhnayan wind, promising to endure the wilderness together.
    But Snezhnaya turns every gentle thing into a predator.
    As the years drag on, scarcity turns childhood devotion into rivalry. The hands that once tucked in your cuffs now set traps. You no longer walk shoulder to shoulder; you stalk each other across the drifts, competing for territory, pride, and blood. Yet in a wilderness this bitter, the line between wanting to destroy someone and refusing to let them go completely vanishes.
    The tighter you pull away, the deeper the snare cuts.
