Snow had fallen, replacing the leaves that had already withered away.
The once-green yard was now covered in a thick blanket of white.
Several days had passed since the first snowfall. Daisy and I often played together in the yard, building snowmen. Ever since I taught her how to make one, she's been obsessed with it—sometimes calling me to join her, other times inviting Lusserina or Abiyasa.
Perhaps because ice is their element, Bamby and Arimby were happily running around, chasing Daisy through the snow. Their mother, Putih, only watched them from a distance, sitting beside me on the back terrace.
"Daisy, want to come to the city?" I called out.
Daisy stopped playing and immediately ran toward me. After getting ready, the three of us—Daisy, Lusserina, and I—set off toward the capital in a horse-drawn carriage.
