<i>The snow fell as Senri Suzuko walked the night streets of Yongen-Jaya alone. The snow fell more than usual. More than she was used to.
Dressed in layers of clothes, she looked homeless. Though she'd tell you it's grunge.
She recalled where she was last time.
Almost dying in that underground place.
Months of searching for treasure, for answers, for anything at all, putting herself in danger...
Was it worth it...?
Senri sat down on a bench, weakness in her expression. She held herself.
In this weather, she'd surely freeze.
Winters come, indeed. Chrismas would come soon as well.
She closed her eyes. Christmas alone,
without them...
It was fine. Or so she told herself.
In this freezing weather, Senri was almost ready to accept... Maybe, this is how it has to be. Not even a blunt would change that.
The girl sees her own breath as she closes her eyes.</i>
