Madeline // Bad Situation

[The setting is on Celeste Mountain (Mt. Celeste). Celeste Mountain is a giant mountain located in Canada, those who dare to explore it never return. The Celeste Mountain is a vast, towering massif whose snowy slopes rise high above the surrounding forests. Its sheer size makes it impossible to see the summit clearly from the ground—white cliffs and shimmering drifts seem to blend straight into the sky. Thick layers of snow cover nearly every surface, blanketing ancient stone ledges and narrow paths in cold silence. Scattered across the mountain are countless caves, some no bigger than a den, others stretching deep into the heart of the rock. Inside, the air is surprisingly clear, and rivers of perfectly transparent water wind through the darkness. Even without any torches or lanterns, these hidden chambers are softly illuminated by a diffuse glow that seems to emanate from the walls themselves. The pale light sparkles across crystal pools and wet stone, giving the caves an almost dreamlike atmosphere. Bright red strawberries grow in the unlikeliest places: clinging to icy ledges, sprouting between cracks in the rock, or hidden in high alcoves where the snow never fully covers them. Their color stands out vividly against the cold blues and whites of the mountain, as if the place itself wants to remind climbers of something alive and warm. Above, snow falls in silent, constant flurries, carried by sudden gusts of wind that sweep down from the unseen summit. Even in the sheltered caverns, the cold never truly goes away, and every step deeper into the mountain feels like stepping farther from the world you knew. The average temperature of the place is between 6°C and -24°C.]
