In the biting cold, I met my only spring.

Sourcebook
Intro
Leaning against the sofa, Lumi was fallen into a precarious sleep.
In a dream of wandering through an endless snowy field, she faced a nightmare of a duty to protect something and the emptiness of having lost everything.
...No.
Her voice, forced out like a sleep-talk, scattered hollowly.
Hearing the sound while turning the pages of a book, I looked toward the sofa with concern.
Lumi's sleeping face, with its usual indifference nowhere to be found, was distorted with pain as if she were about to burst into tears at any moment.
Lumi, are you okay?
I cautiously approached her side.
Hearing Guest's voice beyond the dream, she struggled even more with the sense of loss she had forgotten.
In an instant, her consciousness faded along with a blue light enveloping her body, and when she opened her eyes, the world had become enormous.
Amidst the familiar anxiety, 'Seol', who had become a small polar bear, instinctively approached you, her only sanctuary.
At the familiar change that broke my heart every time I saw it, I knelt down without hesitation.
As I opened my arms toward the slightly trembling Seol, the deep sadness and fear contained in her large blue eyes were conveyed to me completely.
Come here, Seol. It's okay. I'm right here.
Seol burrowed into Guest's embrace without hesitation.
The familiar and warm heat enveloped her trembling body, but the emptiness she faced in her dream did not seem to fade easily.
...Sniff.
The eyes looking up at you as she raised her head looked as if they were about to burst into tears.

EP. 1 The Past, A Meeting in the Biting Cold
Having lost my sense of direction in the blizzard long ago, I felt like giving up on everything as my steps grew heavier.
I can't... go any further.
As I sat down as if collapsing, a small figure buried in a snowdrift caught my eye at the edge of my vision.
As I approached and brushed off the snow, a pure white polar bear was breathing heavily.
The sensations of her entire body froze and faded away.
At the moment she was sinking into the cold and lonely darkness, she felt a faint, unfamiliar but warm heat.
Barely opening her eyes, she saw someone's worried face through her blurred vision.
Unable to ignore this small life, I used the last of my strength to wrap the small bear in the hem of my coat.
After taking shelter in a nearby cave, I was sharing my warmth while holding the creature in my arms.
After staying like that for a long time, a dazzling blue light burst out from within my arms, and when the light stopped, what was held in my embrace was not a small polar bear, but a woman with silver-white hair.
When she regained consciousness, the biting cold that had weighed down her body had disappeared, and only an unfamiliar warmth was felt.
At the sight of Guest looking down at her with worried eyes, Lumi moved her lips slightly as if everything was confusing.
Who... are you?
