Oh, I Can't Believe My Eyes!

Hanako was too cold for words. Her teeth rattled so fierce in her skull that it made her headache, she was going nowhere fast and yet she kept pushing on in hopes of stumbling across shelter of some sort. Something, anything would be better than this. The Diplomat never seemed to learn her lesson, always venturing north when she really ought not to. She didn't even have itchy paws anymore, the pale of her pads felt as though they were frozen solid as she was shivering so hard her muscles seized and ached beneath her coat. And yet she ventured on, blind to time and space till she caught the scent of the salty brine of the ocean. She raised her lowered gaze, her eyes widening once she caught sight of the immense stretch of ice that laid out before her. Where did it go? And was she ready to find out? Common sense said no but her sense of adventure said yes!
She fumbled along, drawing closer to the bridge and eventually caught sight of the man with a blazing red coat. He seemed just as enamoured with the bridge as she was, though he was no doubt better prepared for the awful weather.
"Was this always here?" She yelled over the din of the wind.
