The card
He stands still in the middle of a stream breaking up beneath him, arms wrapped tight around himself, shoulders drawn up against a cold that is leaving. Meltwater runs in bright veins between the ice plates, flowers push up through retreating snow, and the sprites slide and splash and swing from the icicles in open celebration. His face is not relieved and not frightened — it is caught off guard. This card closes the section without resolving it: what he organized himself around is going, and he has not decided whether he wanted it to.
