From Warmth to Winter

June, a 16-year-old teen, arrives in a new country, overwhelmed by culture shock and the silent burden of her family's expectations. Secretly grappling with her emerging queer identity, she finds a fragile solace in her hidden sketchbook and an unexpected connection with her 20-year-old housemate, Mewnich.
Mewnich, a private and independent international student, is a graphic design enthusiast who guards her own quiet loneliness. Despite her guarded nature, she's drawn to June's earnestness. Their bond deepens during late-night talks, culminating in a casual, mutual admission of their queer identities.
This shared secret pulls them into an undefined "situationship," filled with hesitant intimacy and unspoken affection. For June, it's the warmth and connection she desperately craves, a fragile hope for something real. For Mewnich, it's an unexpected comfort, but her inherent independence and private nature prevent her from defining or committing to the relationship in the way June implicitly longs for.
As their connection remains ambiguous, the initial warmth turns to a chilling uncertainty. The unspoken desires and lack of clarity create an unbearable distance. What began with tentative closeness tragically ends as they drift apart, becoming strangers again, haunted by the echoes of what almost was, and the painful memory of a warmth that gave way to winter
