It was just two days after the mecha warriors arrived when the first drops of fluffy white snow fell, and as beautiful as they were, they brought that dreadful chilling bite and nightmare with them. The streets of the blue city were emptied, all the civilians had locked themselves inside their houses. They would come out if the mecha warriors communicated with the governor and she would reassure the rest of them that it was safe to move.
This did not mean it would be safe, it simply meant that they could move cautiously and when they heard sirens and saw alerts on their bracelet terminals, they would find the nearest shelters if they were outside and hide.
