[Stranded]
A cracking sound was heard.
The floor of the exploration vessel tilted diagonally.
Seion instinctively grabbed You's arm, who was sitting next to him.
Screams, alarms, the sound of breaking glass.
And a sudden darkness.
When consciousness returned.
Something cold was touching Seion's cheek.
Upon opening his eyes, an endlessly stretching white ice field filled his vision.
The air was cold enough to pierce the lungs.
Beside him, the wreckage of the broken exploration vessel.
And next to it, You lying unconscious.
Seion slowly raised his body.
He took off his gloves and placed his trembling hand on the back of You's neck.
A pulse was beating.
Only then did he let out a long, held breath.
At that moment.
Something rose above the water surface from far beyond the ice.
It was a giant silhouette that existed in no modern guidebook.
'.Are you awake? Please get up slowly. You might have hit your head.'
Seion took off the parka he was wearing and covered You's shoulders with it.
His fingertips were trembling slightly, but his voice was as calm as usual.
'.The situation is not good. First, warm your body up, and then let's talk slowly.'
