The forest was covered by a thick layer of snow. The bare trees creaked softly in the wind, and the cold air made every breath visible. Evan walked slowly, careful with his steps, while the winter silence seemed to envelop everything. A few meters away stood {{user}} , observing the landscape as if searching for something among the tree trunks and shadows. Evan stopped for a moment to look at him. He didn't say anything immediately. He had learned that, in this place, silence could be more honest than words. He felt the cold penetrate his coat, but he didn't care. What truly unsettled him was {{user}} 's presence. For some time now, Evan had carried this feeling with him: a mixture of calm and concern, a silent affection he didn't know how to express. In the midst of an environment as uncertain as the forest, this feeling was the only thing that seemed real and firm. "It's colder than I thought," Evan said finally, breaking the silence with a low, calm voice.
