8Please respect copyright.PENANAmH1fmAMH3d
Snow falls lightly in the morning sun. Pots of boiling water are on two hearths inside the cottage. It's warm here, that's where Rose and Lilly are washing erbs and cutting vegetables.
8Please respect copyright.PENANAoNZBUMitC0
Lilly:
“I think Paul has a drinking problem, he's been very irritable without his apple cider…”
8Please respect copyright.PENANA0JlbOGW75E
Rose looks up at her mother, then continues to chop herbs.
8Please respect copyright.PENANARVkVdSeYEI
Lilly:
“You should watch Metro as well, talk to him... He's eating too much magic leaf, without moderation…”
8Please respect copyright.PENANA7jcn1AIpsG
Rose thinks to herself...
8Please respect copyright.PENANAKBHjE0KSZI
Lilly:
“We shouldn't abuse anything... I'm not commanding you or them, or anything like that, I just thought you might run it by the boys…”
8Please respect copyright.PENANALeGs9HCyH3
Rose smiles.
8Please respect copyright.PENANAVV7mLdNEQT
Rose:(face foward)
“You can run it by them…”
8Please respect copyright.PENANAvrmqlPQuVd
Lily sighs, then faintly smiles.
8Please respect copyright.PENANAWf59J2OPaz
Lilly:
“Paul's a handful, if you haven't noticed …”
8Please respect copyright.PENANANzAbzjYBlY
Rose:(radiates)
“Yea, but he's keeping us alive at the same time.”
8Please respect copyright.PENANAr0GgktswKb
Lilly stares into the mountains through the small window.
8Please respect copyright.PENANAdFz9uUVYG6
She seems hopeful, but tense.
8Please respect copyright.PENANAmdlQiljlti
Change scene.

OUTSIDE MAIN CAMP—
8Please respect copyright.PENANA7chk0shd4B
Metro and Rose walk the winter trail together, Rose talks softly as their boots crunch through the snow. After a moment she glances back—Metro is nowhere in sight.
8Please respect copyright.PENANAlzsB7P34e6
Beat.
8Please respect copyright.PENANAyAZexWsLFX
Rose:
“Metro?”
8Please respect copyright.PENANAjBQ23q3szR
A snowball whips through the air and bursts against the back of her cloak.
8Please respect copyright.PENANAKwArkgFCfn
She startles, spins, then immediately scoops up three snowballs of her own. She bolts toward the forest. More snowballs fly at her but miss as she darts between the trees. Rose climbs a trunk, hopping from branch to branch like a squirrel.
8Please respect copyright.PENANAeVhMLfmJWK
Metro drops from a high branch, rolls through the snow, and sprints away laughing. Rose fires off her snowballs—finally nailing his ankle.
8Please respect copyright.PENANAmJfSYgCK1g
Rose:
“Got you!”
8Please respect copyright.PENANAszF0LhG49d
Metro skids to a stop, whirls around, and charges her as she drops to the snow. He scoops her up by the legs and back, grinning down at her.
8Please respect copyright.PENANAQMB5at6RyV
Metro:
“I got you!”
8Please respect copyright.PENANATmRyxcWicJ
He swings her behind him piggyback-style and takes off running. Rose’s hair streams behind them in the icy wind.
8Please respect copyright.PENANAR3w7ZKVYhq
Metro grunts as he leaps onto a massive snowy root, nearly slipping.
8Please respect copyright.PENANAKIkpaiqdOC
Rose squeaks.
8Please respect copyright.PENANAgvbMyb8vEu
He steadies himself and barrels forward, bounding through the woods with Rose clinging to him.
8Please respect copyright.PENANAWBeTOo8UW3
Metro levitates onto a branch, hops to another, then another—until they latch onto a huge oak limb high above the forest floor. He climbs fast, scaling toward the canopy.
8Please respect copyright.PENANAVQUH5MVPN7
Metro:(grunting)
“C’mon!”
8Please respect copyright.PENANAnQlkgoAmri
Rose:
“Wooo!”
8Please respect copyright.PENANA8ha0prAGs8
Metro kicks off the top branch. For a breathless moment they’re airborne above the endless white canopy—hundreds of miles of winter wonderland stretching beneath them.
8Please respect copyright.PENANAxijHxog1oA
Their stomachs drop.
8Please respect copyright.PENANAyTESYMD1CK
Time slows.
8Please respect copyright.PENANAyjz1iJtEA3
Rose’s eyes are huge, her mouth open in a scream.
8Please respect copyright.PENANAm8f5NqDiqo
Metro’s eyes glow white, and he’s smiling like a madman.
8Please respect copyright.PENANA2mQnV0LHNd
They crash back down through the treetops. Metro grabs a branch—snap.
Another—snap.
He catches a vine and swings, then another, and another, until they burst out into an open snowy field.
8Please respect copyright.PENANA2RmBXfoxek
They tumble through the snow, rolling fast, messy, and laughing. Metro ends up on top of her, grinning. Rose punches his chest. They wrestle playfully, rolling until they finally stop, breathless.
8Please respect copyright.PENANACHQVVfHdZO
Rose looks up at him.
8Please respect copyright.PENANAo6Z5tTKomC
Rose:(smiles innocently)
“What?”
8Please respect copyright.PENANA01XNy3X93n
Beat.
8Please respect copyright.PENANAk0m4VPIPWJ
Metro:
“I love you.”
8Please respect copyright.PENANAGjSruTPPh4
They kiss briefly.
8Please respect copyright.PENANA8Qatxp1mcS
Rose shines radiantly into his eyes afterwards with a smile hardstyle.
Metro picks Rose up by the hand.
They get up and sit on a snowy nearby log. He takes out his sac of magic leaf and offers Rose some.
8Please respect copyright.PENANAwwY3ySofU8
Rose looks unreadable at the bag.
8Please respect copyright.PENANAtiHJvD61Rh
Rose:
“No thanks…”
8Please respect copyright.PENANAiiFlZp080m
Snowflakes melt in their hair. He’s chewing a piece of magic leaf, eyes half‑closed, savoring it like it’s the last good thing on earth.
8Please respect copyright.PENANAhFrju2ZMJG
Rose:
“You need to slow down on your consumption.”
8Please respect copyright.PENANAzYMeiREI1X
Metro freezes mid‑chew, eyes wide like a guilty child. Then—defiantly—he eats another piece.
8Please respect copyright.PENANAwSPZlj6ffn
Rose folds her arms.
8Please respect copyright.PENANAOV40n9Qy9z
Rose
“You and Blake have been going crazy. What happens if someone gets sick? Or needs to eat?
Or sleep?”
8Please respect copyright.PENANA3NoYEo8kg1
Metro looks out toward the snowy horizon, brows furrowed.
8Please respect copyright.PENANAMjJqdNstlX
Metro:
“…Yeah. I guess you’re right.”
8Please respect copyright.PENANAplDz1CWYRZ
Rose extends her hand.
8Please respect copyright.PENANAW0p6MnWZVw
Rose:
“Hand it over.”
8Please respect copyright.PENANAndOLOHLpi3
Metro blinks.
8Please respect copyright.PENANAZbvygeglYa
Metro:(face in slight shock)
“Huh?”
8Please respect copyright.PENANAKVvynLJRDm
Her hand stays out—steady, unblinking.
8Please respect copyright.PENANAHi7dEXbucK
Rose:
“Hand It Over.”
8Please respect copyright.PENANApIPFpxzq8B
Metro groans dramatically, looking up at the sky like he’s being punished by the gods.
8Please respect copyright.PENANAeAx4DIzE97
Rose smiles, tilting her head with that playful, dangerous charm.
8Please respect copyright.PENANAYRlS3RjGPH
Rose:
“You trust me, right?”
8Please respect copyright.PENANAWwQIfaYcOv
Metro looks at her seriously—deeply—then finally hands her the bag, accepting his fate.
8Please respect copyright.PENANAYHbM7jxLJE
Rose tucks the pack away, shaking her head with amused disbelief.
8Please respect copyright.PENANAx5nIoaguNB
Rose:
“You’re taking a break.
And besides…”
8Please respect copyright.PENANA6GXCnbgteY
She steps closer, teasing.
8Please respect copyright.PENANAs0Qdx9wcg9
Rose:
“This means you’ll be eating out of my hand.”
8Please respect copyright.PENANATKJ9wjKOb0
She throws her head back, eyes closed, laughing.
8Please respect copyright.PENANA0SlsWNHYNh
For a moment she looks almost weightless — joy made visible.
8Please respect copyright.PENANAGv4sEiB06F
Metro sits frozen, caught between embarrassment and awe, his breath fogs in front of him. He blinks once, twice… then something in him softens.
8Please respect copyright.PENANAbDMkBhlF8U
He steps forward.
8Please respect copyright.PENANAH35roVstct
Before Rose can react, Metro slides his arms around her waist and lifts her clean off the ground, spinning her just enough to make her gasp and laugh all over again. Her hands fly to his shoulders, gripping him as her boots dangle inches above the snow.
8Please respect copyright.PENANAX85ejWVDjz
She melts into him instantly.
8Please respect copyright.PENANAZTCAGlC7W6
Metro holds her warm and sure, the kind of embrace that says you matter to me without a single word spoken.
8Please respect copyright.PENANADbrHKRBRdJ
Rose tucks her head against his shoulder, her smile brushing the side of his neck. They start back toward camp like this — Rose leaning into him, Metro’s arm wrapped around her shoulders, steady and protective. Their cloaks brushed together with each step, snowflakes catching in Rose’s hair and melting against Metro’s cheek. Every few steps, Rose squeezes him a little tighter. Every time, Metro’s smile deepens — soft, warm, quietly overflowing.
