In the winter of 1998, a once-ordinary student senses an inner realm quietly overlaying his familiar routine, much like fresh snow settling over the ground. As he moves through unchanged streets and daily encounters, he begins to notice the steady warmth of someone dear whose presence he had long taken for granted. This quiet revelation stirs him to seek out the unseen ties anchoring him to his world and the person at their center. With the season slowly turning brighter, he wonders what lies ahead and whose hand will remain in his.
