[ Having found himself wondering the same, he retreated into silence in a somewhat selfish attempt to keep the memory of that moment to himself. Not without a reason, he'd grown to be quite protective of all the little emotions that made it exactly what it was.

It had been a rather strange day from start to finish, riddled with not always comprehensible thoughts and predicaments, such as being caught in the middle of a snowstorm on their way back. At least it hadn’t taken too long to reach the housing district from the place of the unfortunate ambush, though it had still come at the cost of cutting through the white flurry first.
