<p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">Winter arrived unexpectedly. When the wind swept past the street corner, I tucked my neck in and put my hands in my pockets.</p><p class="ql-block">When you walk over, your coat is puffy and bulging, as if you're carrying some precious item inside.</p><p class="ql-block">I asked you what's in your arms.You smiled without saying a word, merely lifting a corner of your garment—</p><p class="ql-block">I saw two creatures as gentle as white rabbits, curled up quietly there.</p><p class="ql-block">One is named "Don't Be Afraid," and the other is named "I'm Here."</p><p class="ql-block">They remain silent and quiet, simply lying obediently against your chest, keeping all the cold wind outside at bay. You say this is an essential item you always carry when going out, more important than your phone and even more crucial than your keys.</p><p class="ql-block">Later, I realized that everyone should carry these two kinds of gentleness in their hearts.</p><p class="ql-block">One is for warming oneself, and the other is for warming others.</p><p class="ql-block">No matter how strong the wind or how distant the road may be, as long as I look down and see that soft, white bundle in my arms, I feel that this world is still worth walking through.</p>
