Tonight's dream takes place by a secluded arctic lake, nestled among the frozen snow. Subtle strains of classical music come from nowhere, adding to the atmosphere of calm. Ami seems completely at ease, seated at a table resting on the surface of the ice. Though the sharp scent of cold air finds no relief in the thin sunlight, she seems unaffected. She tucks an errant lock of hair out of her way, and scrutinizes the arrangement of pieces on a chessboard, deep in comfortable thought.

All in all, it's a perfect birthday.
