Author's Word

Before I begin writing this story, I would like to explain how the idea of this story came about.
To begin with, I love anime.
And in a lot of anime you see those story where the main character and a girl sees something through a window.
Not only in anime, you even see them in dramas.
This story is mainly inspired by the idea of love.
And recently I've grown curious of how it feels like to be in love with a person.
So the thought of that idea has driven me to write this story.
Based on love and snow.
How love could just come like that.
From two different world, two hearts....
Meet to become one.
