SOCIALIZE//GET WOOLY: With the grip of the ice-age tightening, large swaths of ice cover the planet.

Stephen is sad and lonely. His heart is racing, not making a sounds as it beats rapidly in his chest. The cold does not affect him like the others so he will weather this storm relatively unscathed.

It’s hard for him to step away from himself and see how much he has buried himself into himself.
