Considered abominations of nature by a fate they did not choose to inflict upon themselves, Amalie and Kol had always seemed to be in a perpetual battle against the very essence of death. But the day arrived when "always and forever" proved to be a...
Months drifted by, and since Kakucho had seamlessly melded into their close-knit group, each passing day unfolded with a tapestry of joy and excitement. Even Kol found himself gradually unraveling layers of his persona in the warmth of Kakucho's presence.
Perhaps it was the inexplicable allure of Kakucho's aura that played the enchanting symphony to this newfound camaraderie. The scene unfolded in the heart of December, with Amalie engrossed in a book beside Kol. A sudden impulse surged through her, prompting her to lift the curtain, craving a glimpse of the world outside. Rising from the sofa, she wore a contagious smile.
" What's catching your eye, dear sister ?". Kol inquired, peering up from his book.
" Is there something peculiar outside ?". Kakucho wondered, glancing away from the card game with Izana.
Amalie grinned," Prepare for a surprise ! Let's step outside".
She hastily donned her jacket, darting out of the room, leaving the boys bewildered. They quickly followed suit, grabbing jackets and shoes in their wake.
" Wait for us !". Izana exclaimed.

Upon reaching the door, Amalie turned, unveiling a grand revelation that sparkled in her eyes.
" Isn't it cool?". She proclaimed with a grin.
" Snow !". Kakucho and Izana erupted with delight.
Kol, too, expressed his amazement, whistling," It's been ages since I've seen this much snow".
" Time for a snowball fight !". Amalie suggested, her eyes gleaming mischievously.
" Absolutely ! Amy and I against Kol and Kakucho". Izana declared, already stepping into the snowy terrain.
" Why am I against my sister ?". Kol asked, a faint frown lining his face.
" Because I decided". Izana retorted.
Amalie chuckled, darting into the snow, prompting Kol to shake his head. Despite the millenniums they carried in their minds, whenever Amalie encountered snow, she transformed into a child. For Kol, the experience became a doorway to relive a carefree existence.
Izana and Amalie, armed with snowballs, launched a spirited attack on Kol and Kakucho.
" Not fair, Izana ! We agreed; it's Kol and my territory past that line ! Even Amalie tried to respect it". Kakucho protested.
Izana laughed," Idiot ! Promises are meant to be broken ! Hey, Amy-".
Kakucho and Izana exchanged a glance, sweatdropping, as Kol retaliated with a massive pile of snow, toppling Amalie to the ground.
" A fighter down ! Now I'll take care of Izana ! Don't worry, Kakucho ! No one attacks my partner without consequences !". Kol declared with a smirk as he cracked his knuckles.
