"...It's unfortunate that there was a snowstorm here of all places," Raina shook her head helplessly. "What do we do now? With how there's no more trail, do we just go around the area blindly in hopes of finding Reru and Rustly?"
"Man, why now of all times?!" Frey cried out. "Ugh. I just want out of this place now! Why must it be this cold?!"
