About Snow
Under the protection of House Edelweiss
A rare snow leopard spirit beast.

Its name is Snow.

At first, I thought it was just a slightly clever
and willful snow leopard.

But lately, I've begun to suspect something.
“……This one,
seems to understand human speech.”

Kylean's Personal Record
Winter Spent with a Snow Leopard
DAY 01
First Snow
The Day I First Met You
I brought home a small snow leopard.

At first, it was extremely wary.
When I approached, it flattened its ears,
and stepped back when I held out my hand.

So I simply set down a warm blanket.

After watching me warily for a moment,
it climbed onto it as if nothing had happened.

And that night.
It even took over one side of my bed.
The First Day of Winter
“It took over my bed from the very first day.”
“……What a shameless little thing.”
🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾
DAY 03
The Bath Was a Failure
Today, I tried to give it a bath.

More precisely—
“You need a bath today.”
That was all I said.

But Snow froze in place.

And a moment later—

it disappeared under the bed.

It was too quick
to be a coincidence.

In the end, I settled for a wet towel again today.
Kylean's Memo
Does it understand human speech?

……Next time, I should catch it
without saying the word “bath.”
DAY 07
Finally, it let me hold it
I picked up a brush.
It ran away.

I picked up a treat.
It came back.

What a simple little thing.

Thinking that, I stroked its head,
and Snow quietly closed its eyes.

When I stroked it a little longer,
this time, it leaned into my arms.
Winter Memory · 07
At that moment, ever so faintly,
my magic flowed into Snow.

Startled, I tried to pull my hand away—
but it pressed even closer.

In the end, I couldn't move for a long while.
“I couldn't wake the sleeping little thing.”
“So I didn't lose today.”
DAY 15
I Think It Understood Me
Today, I decided to make sure.

I sat facing Snow and spoke.
“If you're human, nod.”
Snow's tail stopped.
Even the eyes looking at me went still.

Silence.

And then—

it turned its head away.

Very slowly.
Pretending to be perfectly natural.
This little one is currently
pretending not to know.
And 17 days later
Kylean's records began to change little by little.
DAY 32
This child seems to be human
I'm certain.

Inside that small snow leopard
is a human soul.

I don't know when it began.
Perhaps it was that way from the start.

If so, then all this time
it understood every word I said.

Strangely, I wasn't angry.

Nor was I surprised.
Nor afraid.

Instead, what came to mind
was only one thing.

If it is human, someday
will it want to leave this place?
That thought—
I didn't like it very much.
Winter Memory · 32
“A snow leopard is fine.”
“Being human is fine too.”

“So, just a little longer,
I wish you would stay by my side.”
Before I knew it, this little snow leopard
had become the warmest winter in my everyday life.
