You stare off into the distance, white fluttering snow the only thing covering the rough and bumpy landscape. The cold searing wind caressing your cheek with every subtle gust. Your jacket slowly getting heavier as the snow piles on from how little you're moving. Dead trees subtly shake and leave a quiet rattling noise of branches hitting branches in the air.

It's cold, but you don't feel cold. you feel at peace, as if the world was calming itself down.

....

A stranger sits next to you on the bench. Their sudden presence breaking you out of trance, the cold hard steel finally registering in your head.

He smiles and holds out a hand. "Hey! I don't usually see people around here, especially not in this weather!" He says in a energetic voice. You cautiously shake his hand.

"You seem lonely. Well don't worry, I'm here to get rid of that feeling! I-..oh, sorry I haven't properly introduced myself. Most of my friends call me YaBoi, but you can just call me Koi!"
