Matthew walked through the snow-covered housing. The path he walked was also filled with snow that seemed endless. Endless winter. That's the word Matthew put on the city of Utqiagvik (Barrow). The town he had been living in for the past few months.
Life went on very cold and slow in the city. Matthew had not even seen the sun since he arrived in the town. The city was wholly dim and cold. Matthew feels city Utqiagvik can describe what he is feeling right now.
Matthew secretly harbored his longing for Lily in the middle of the dim city. Between his daily activities of hunting whales and walruses, Matthew never once didn't think about Lily.
"Hey, Matthew! Hurry!" Alo shouted from the boat, about to go out to sea to look for whales.
Matthew immediately lifted his head and smiled crookedly at Alo. He then quickened his pace. Once at the end of the pier, Matthew immediately jumped into the fishing boat where Alo was.
