Orion, in a worse state, lay silent, unable to voice his plight.

Flossie responded hastily.
Moments later, the door swung open, revealing the vast, snowy expanse beyond. Visibility was poor, nothing discernible in the blinding white.

The mood onboard was tense. Stella sat in silence, her hands clenched together.
Unable to bear the somber atmosphere, Miley intervened, clapping her hands. “Thankfully, we’re all safe. Surviving such an ordeal surely means good fortune awaits. Let’s embrace life positively from here on out. No more gloom.”
Stella offered a weak smile in response. Turning to the rescue team, she inquired, “Who alerted you?”
