Frozen Peaks
Once deeply in love, the protagonist’s relationship ended in betrayal and deceit, leaving scars too deep for apologies to heal. Choosing complete severance, they carried the weight of the past like frost in their lungs. Time passes, but the wound lingers, driving them to the ultimate challenge: climbing Everest. Not to escape, but to prove—to themselves, to the world—that what broke them cannot define them. Yet on the icy slopes, the past returns. Sydney, the former lover, appears—prepared, remorseful, and seeking amends. She wants to step onto the same mountain, to rewrite a story she once shattered. But the protagonist, hardened like glacier ice, remains untouchable. Forgiveness is distant, almost impossible. Amid the thin air and merciless wind, the two confront not just each other, but memory, grief, and the lingering sting of betrayal. Every step toward the summit is a battle for survival; every breath, a confrontation with the ghosts they thought they’d left behind.
