Wind and snow carried moonlight that spilled across the letter. However, in Axel's fading vision, the glow slowly gathered into a white silhouette. It was blurred and transparent, seemingly as fragile as glass. "Axel, have sweet dreams." The wind seemed to carry Seraphina's whisper. Axel struggled to reach toward the figure. His fingers passed through empty air, grasping nothing. Yet, he looked as content as if he had captured the entire world. He eventually let his hand fall.

The Wrong Vow, My Perfect Match Chapter 133: The Shape of Happiness Winter arrived sooner than expected. One morning, Ama woke to find the city covered in a thin layer of snow. Not enough to stop traffic. Not enough to close businesses. Just enough to transform the familiar into something new. She stood by the window for several minutes, watching snowflakes drift through the early morning light. Years ago, she would have searched for meaning in the moment. A sign. A message.
