Noon, five days later.
The vast snowfield was clad in silver, with the cold wind howling, blowing snowballs off the trees, shattering them on the ground. The earth was covered with a thick layer of snow, many tree branches bent under the weight, drooping onto the ground. Some birds flew in the air, chattering on the branches, searching for food. The sky was cloudless, and the sunlight brought a hint of warmth to the endless forest.
On a heavily wooded hillside, a snow-white wild rabbit suddenly appeared. It took a few steps and stopped, raising its ears to cautiously observe the surroundings, its eyes darting around, its nose twitching as if sniffing for danger in the air. Its body tensed as it stared suspiciously at a certain snow pile, perhaps realizing some danger. Suddenly, it darted away like a flash of lightning, disappearing in an instant.
