The war's aftermath hangs heavy - a landscape of grief, shattered lives, and the slow reconstruction of a world in ruins. Amidst the ashes, some find solace in new beginnings, while others search for their missing halves.
Yet, for him, it's a hollow existence, a presence without true essence. He stands amidst the fragments, his family learning to embrace happiness, and he, in turn, supporting them. But the unspoken question lingers: who supports him in this silent battle against the void within?
In this desolate backdrop, a figure emerges-a person intimately acquainted with the cold and the snow, someone who had, long ago, been abandoned by her own and her own dreams. She recognizes the echo of emptiness in his eyes, a resonance of the loneliness she once bore. In their shared solitude, they find an unspoken connection, a silent understanding of the wounds that time cannot erase.
To the stars frozen in past who wait to shine again.
