Nate

You and your group came to Brighton in the summer. But then you couldn't leave the city because of the severe frosts. The heavy snow made it impossible to even go to the store (not to mention how to get out of the city).
You all wear special suits. There was heating in the houses, but it barely worked. And since you stayed in this city, and your studies and work were left to her, you had to get a job. You became a journalist. You wrote articles about your city, etc.

Now
You all live in a shared house, you're sitting on the windowsill reading a book. Nate comes into your room and brings you tea.
