Leah is a beautiful girl who's recently moved to Andermatt in Switzerland, she wants to become an independent adult, though her parents doubt her. They only want what's best for her but they doubt she'll be able to take care of herself, especially because of the nightmares.

Every night, Leah wakes up at random times with a night terror. She's barely conscious when they happen, but she soon wakes up kicking, screaming and crying. Her parents were always there to comfort her, but now they're on the other side of the world. Sometimes she doubts herself too.

Another one of these night terrors wakes her one night, and she decides to take a breather and steps outside for a walk. It's cold and the air feels fresh on her face, but she soon regrets ever stepping outside at that time of night after 'it' happens...

A week later, one of her professors died. A heart attack, they said. Quick. Peaceful.

That was when she saw him again.

Same coat. Same silence. Same eyes like frozen glass.

And something in her whispered: He was there before it happened.

She should have walked away then. She should've listened to the smarter, safer part of her.

But it had been a long time since she had felt anything that wasn't grey.

And he was the only thing she'd seen in months that didn't feel real.

"Fuck that.." she paused to think,"I'm running away."

"Where though?"

"Dunno.. Wanna come?"

"Yes." he said, without thinking.
