When Lisa wakes up it's still dark in the cave.

She slowly stands up and looks at Jean to her left who was sleeping peacefully.

Lisa goes around in the cave and tries to find the entrance.

"I could've sworn it was right in front of us..."

She goes around and around only to be met by snow and more snow.

"I should wake Jean." Lisa says and goes over to the other woman shinking her gently.

"Wake up my dear." She hums in a soft voice as Jean slowly begins to open her eyes.

"Lisa?"

I spark of hope forms in Lisa's eyes as she hears her own name.

"Yes. Yes, it's me. Do you remember?"

Jean seems a little confused but still answers the question: "Of course I remember. You're the only one down here how could I forget."

Lisa looks down in embarrassment.

"Right..."

Jean looks at Lisa before asking: "Why did you wake me up in the middle of the night?"

Jean looks around and before Lisa can say anything she notices that the entrance is gone.

Jean panics and goes over to the frozen snow in front of them and takes out her sword trying to get rid of the snow and form a new exit.

Lisa sighs and looks at Jean who is trying so desperately to get out of the cave.

"Try it with your magic!"

Knowing exactly it won't work Lisa casts some spells on the snow in front of them before calming Jean down.

"Jean... The snow is frozen. It's just like the walls of the cave now. We need to wait until it gets warm again."

"But didn't you say- Didn't you say it's cold in summer and warm in... winter."

Jean drops her sword and sits down on the cold ground.

Lisa sits down next to her, her hands on the woman's shoulders trying to calm her down.

"We can do this alright? It's not long before winter starts again. And we have enough food we can do this I promise."

Lisa says and pulls Jean into a tight embrace.

It's quiet.

Nobody dares to say a word to the other because both are scared of what's about to come.

Because they don't know what's about to come.

"We have enough stuff for soup maybe for even more days. And for water source we can use the ice. We can just melt the icicles. And with my magic I can make a fire."

Lisa explains trying to calm Jean down.

"And what about the cold? I don't think a little fire can help and we don't have enough wood to make another."

Both of them sigh and look at the fire before Jean lays down and falls asleep.

When she wakes up hours later it's darker than before.

The fire went out.

She looks over at Lisa who is sitting in the middle of the cave and sipping on soup from a bowl.

"Your soup is cold. I didn't want to wake you." Lisa says pointing at a bowl laying next to her.

Jean slowly gets up and walks over picking up the bowl and taking a sip from it.

The soup is almost frozen. It tastes good but it's too cold to enjoy it.

Jean takes a few big sips from the bowl before putting it back down again and sitting down next to Lisa.

"What happened to the fire?"

Lisa looks down again, not a sign of happiness in her eyes.

"The wood could've burn anymore. It went out in the middle of me eating the hot soup. I don't think I can do this anymore."

Jean gets up and walks over to the frozen wall hitting it with her sword again and again but no success.

"Jean please stop. You're going to hurt yourself if you keep it up."

After a few more tries Jean gives up and drops her sword sitting back down again.

"Do you think we will make it?" Jean whispers cuddling up next to Lisa.

Lisa sighs.

Jean then looks at Lisa who was still looking at the floor lost in her thoughts.

"Hey Lisa... Hold my hand."

Lisa looks at her and smiles a weak fake smile grabbing her hand slowly.

This is everything Lisa wants. Holding Jean's hand and feeling the warmth of her body next to her.

Jean looks Lisa deep in the eyes: "We will make it. Just another night. I promise I will get us out of here."

As Lisa tries to say something Jean pulls her into a tight hug and Lisa can feel her heartbeat.

They lean on the wall the only warmth they have being each other's bodies.

"Lisa... don't fall asleep."

It gets colder and colder every minute and they can hear a storm coming from outside.

"I can't feel my hands any more." Jean says and she holds onto Lisa tightly.

Lisa is shaking and tears stream down her face.

Jean moves her hand to wipe away Lisa's tears and pulls her closer into the hug.

"I'm so tired."

"Don't fall asleep now Lisa. Hold on for me alright? Tell me something about your past. Ask me questions. Just talk to me."

Lisa let's out a long sigh before speaking up: "How much do you remember about your past darling?"

Jean looks down at Lisa just for her to look away.

"I remember my house, some certain people, my family and my job. Nothing more, nothing less."

After a little silence Jean decides to ask Lisa a question: "Can I ask you something?" Lisa just slowly nods and let's Jean continue: "Why do you always call me darling? Do you call others darling too?"

Lisa chuckles before answering with a smile: "I used to call everyone darling yes. It was all so nice... I wish I didn't go to this stupid mission..." Lisa sighs and cuddles up next to Jean.

After hearing the last sentence Jean starts to remember some more about her life. It was like she couldn't move. She couldn't think about anything except for her life.

"Lisa... Lisa! Lisa I remember! I remember it all! I know now why you kept asking love I know! Lisa we were about to get married when you disappeared for the mission and Lumine came back alone and I was so stressed I sent all the nest knights to search for you and after two years of searching I decided to go on my own and I didn't remember you I didn't know it was you I..."

Jean feels weak. Her energy suddenly disappears and she feels more cold.

She reaches for Lisa's hand trying to move her other hand to Lisa's face and kiss her.

"Lisa..."

She lifts Lisa's head up and seems her with her eyes closed.

Lisa is cold and her breathing gone.

"You didn't hear me did you?"

Jean says looking at her fiance and giving her one last kiss on her cold and frozen lips.

"I love you..."

With those words Jean too closes her eyes and falls into a deep sleep.
