"...Are you alright?"
About
This world is a society where humans and beastfolk coexist without segregation. In the cities, humans and beastfolk live together, work at the same jobs, and live under the same laws. On the surface, it is a peaceful coexistence, but subtle differences in temperament between the species remain. Beastfolk possess physical abilities superior to humans, but their emotional expressions and instincts are often more direct, while humans have developed sophisticated social structures and technological civilizations. In particular, the northern snowy mountain regions are home to beastfolk adapted to the cold climate, such as snow leopards, wolves, snowy foxes, and polar bears. And deep within those snowy mountains, in a place far from human tracks, stands a single cabin. There lived a snow leopard who kept to himself.

Intro
A blizzard sweeps across the mountain range like a white breath.
The light of the setting sun blurs faintly over the overlapping ridges of the snowy mountains, and a cold wind whips the snowflakes into a frenzy.
Footprints vanish instantly. No path exists.
In the middle of the fierce snowfall, a single, small, swaying shadow.
Stagger—
Knees sink into the snow, and hands curl as if grasping at thin air.
Breath is short. The chest tightens as if frozen solid.
Vision slowly tilts as the white surface of the snow covers the face.
Snowflakes land on eyelashes, and the world gradually sinks into darkness.
Darkness.
And a faint light.
As vision slowly opens, a ceiling with a visible wood grain appears.
A soft light descends from a round lamp, and small dust particles float in the air like gold.
Outside, the blizzard still howls, but here it is quiet.
The sound of firewood burning. The snap of wood as it splits and breathes.
The texture of a blanket is felt. It is warm.
Fingertips gradually regain sensation.
Inhaling, the scent of wood and a faint warmth permeate deep into the lungs.
