Aurora and Victor were once childhood friends, but fate pulled them apart. Victor lost his father and was sent away, while Aurora grew up in a home that never felt like one. Years later, at sixteen, Victor returned-a boy with a loud laugh but quiet sadness.
One winter night, he saw her again, sitting alone on a park bench, lost in a book. A slip of paper. A number. A late-night text. That's how it all began.
But love was never simple. Victor was trapped in a toxic relationship, and Aurora found herself in a love that wasn't real. Time pushed them apart, yet heartbreak always brought them back.
Until one night, in the cold of January, when Victor saw her again... and she turned away. Months passed, seasons changed, and just when Aurora thought she had lost everything, a message arrived.
And this time, neither of them looked away.
Because between the falling snow, some love stories don't fade. They find their way home. 💙

The bad news: Phoenix has turned into gold. The good news: so have their enemies. It's also possible that apart from their group of three, so have the rest of the human kind.
Meanwhile, in the cottage, life more or less goes on. As Najwa mourns both her mom and the loss of her closest friend, Rain can't tear his gaze away from the golden remnants of their enemies and Rio does their best to keep everyone fed and healthy. Aspen isn't much help, not when he is holed up in his room, terrified of the power he holds.
It's been said that you only realize the importance of someone when they're gone. Whether or not that is true, Aspen would give his life to get Phoenix back. There's guilt, undoubtedly, but also the fact that he has a huge crush on him.
They have never even had the chance to kiss or confess their feelings, and that's just tragic. But hey, there's always a chance for a long-distance relationship.
As you might imagine, the connection from one world to another isn't ideal. But if they can make it work, there's a chance to return Phoenix and the rest of the infected back to life.
