Blake Beaulieu begins her university life adrift, haunted by memories she cannot fully grasp and shadows she cannot fully name. As she navigates mundane conversations and fleeting friendships, fragments of the past quietly unravel—a forgotten garden, a photograph on her wall, and a girl whose smile lingers beyond memory. Bound by nostalgia and unspoken grief, Blake finds herself caught between the desire to move forward and the ache of something precious lost. In a world where absence speaks louder than presence, she searches for meaning in the echoes of the past, learning that some loves never truly disappear—they simply bloom quietly within us, like wisteria through the cracks.

A solitary wanderer traverses a desolate, frozen expanse, driven by an intangible yearning for release from the weight of existence. His journey, marked by biting winds and the eerie song of shifting ice, becomes an odyssey through both the external and internal. The world around him—a haunting blend of cold beauty and silent hostility—mirrors his own turbulent thoughts.
