📍 Forest edge thawing, 2025
“It was not dramatic. It was not the psychedelic fireworks I had once imagined. It was quieter, subtler, but unmistakable. The ice cracked. The silence softened.”

NARRADOR: At the edges, ice recedes. Green buds, a songbird on the bough, the man at the center looking upward.
EU INTERIOR: The thaw doesn't erase winter — it proves winter was never eternal.
