Chara, this younger Chara, has never seen this much snow up close before - only the distant snowcap of Ebott, and a few scant inches on particularly lucky winters. Climate change has been hard at work by 211x.
So it's drawn them out of the Castle. This is a pleasant dream so far, even if it didn't start out that way, and they sit just outside the entrance, watching it fall. They don't play in it. They're not allowed - they'll only track mud and slush inside. Just doing this is pushing the envelope, but then again, this is nowhere they've seen before. If they're careful, no-one will know.
And then a green and yellow blur, their sweater colours, goes by and startles them, trailing silver tinsel, and without really thinking they make a grab for that trail.
That this wasn't the best idea becomes immediately apparent when they start getting pulled along.
