The long and cold winter has finally come to an end.
The fog that lasted throughout the winter has finally begun to retreat from the Aldernon Great Plains, and the entire world seems to become clearer with the arrival of spring. The daily wind is still cold, but no longer as piercingly icy as in previous days. The snow begins to melt, the ice turns into streams, and the rivulets formed by the melting snow and ice flow down from the black rooftops and spires of Aldernon, drenching the entire city in mist—in the wake of the new drainage system built more than a decade ago, these melted snow waters can smoothly enter the underground sewers, so people need not worry that these additional "streams" will damage the foundations of buildings. Thus, the melting of city snow is no longer an annoying issue, but rather an unusual landscape.
