Crimson Under Frost

❄️ **Story Description - "Until the Ice Stops Bleeding"**

In a world where war and science blur the line between healing and horror, **Saeko Yarazaki** was never meant to exist.
Born in a remote fishing village to a human father and a snow leopard hybrid mother, her childhood was brief - stolen under a moonless sky when unmarked soldiers tore her family apart.
She awoke not in her home, but in **Division-9**, a hidden bioweapon facility where children became test subjects and miracles were built from agony.

For ten years, Saeko endured unspeakable experiments - viruses that rebuilt her from the inside, pain conditioning that silenced her screams, and endless "healing trials" designed to weaponize her blood.
They called her *Subject S-042.*
They stripped away her name, her innocence, and her humanity - but not her will.

When chaos finally gave her a chance to escape, Saeko clawed her way back to the surface, only to find her home erased and her family murdered.
What remained was a single relic: a **silver snowflake pendant**, stained with ash and memory.
Burying it in the snow, she swore one vow - *to never let another soul bleed like she did.*

Years later, beneath neon skies and Yakuza gunfire, Saeko became a healer in the shadows - a medic with the hands of a saint and the reflexes of a predator.
Her split mind - **Sweet, Psyko, and Hateful** - kept her alive through every wound she stitched and every life she saved.
To the underworld, she was *Windows* - the glitching girl who could stop death itself.
To herself, she was just trying to remember what it meant to be human.

But peace does not follow ghosts of the lab.
The viruses inside her are evolving.
The people who made her haven't stopped watching.
And the snowflake she buried years ago is calling her back - whispering of something unfinished beneath the ice.

Now twenty-two, Saeko Yarazaki must choose:
heal the world that broke her,
or burn it all until the ice finally stops bleeding.
