“Count the wind. When it drops, we run. When it rises, we live.”
“Count the beats. Plant the pins. When the wall breathes in—lift.”
“Don’t watch the gate—watch the stones. The wall grows fingers in this cold.”
“The gates do not fall. They forget to be closed.”
“Open your gates, little kin. Or I will teach your walls how to kneel.”
Winter has a way of remembering what the world forgets.
“Memories are threads—breathe, and we will weave them back together.”
“Joy’s a craft—trim the wick, set the beat, and warm the night together.”
“Measure the ice. Trust the numbers. Then take one careful step.”
“Speak softly, pay fairly, and let the walls forget your face.”
“Fire remembers us when we remember each other—stand close, breathe slow.”
Drown your flames in snow and bare your necks. The Glass Crown keeps what burns.
