  Summary

  Barovia was like home, in a way.

  Dreadfully dark, ominous, and familiarly cold.

  Always repeating, always the same. Never changing. Towns with its unassuming houses, buildings, walls that trapped you in place, left you stranded in the blistering, unforgiving cold. Leaving small hands desperate to stay warm and fed clutching hopelessly to their older sisters' hands.

  Hands that were calloused at such a young age despite the softness they shared.

  It was familiar, all too similar. And yet it was different.

  ~~

  It wasn’t uncommon for Temerity to be awake when everyone else wasn’t. But this time, he had something in particular on his mind.

  Knowledge.

  Curiosity.

  Worry.

  A question.
