Without even realizing it himself, a pool of emotions washed him over, causing his brain to stop and his face to remain still with his jaw hanging open.
To be seen, to be believed in; it all felt like a surreal dream that he chased for many years. While the woman before him was giving him a polite smile, oblivious to his surge of emotions, he remained stunned and…
scared?
Overwhelmed with absolute joy?
Or even c o n f u s e d.
What would even be appropriate in this situation? Surely he couldn’t pounce on her and spin her around in the sky, exclaiming how much he yearned to be seen and was thankful to be believed in. Hell, he didn’t even think he could have the guts to initiate such an obscure gesture. So instead, he gazes at the elegant woman with his blue pools that contained his desperation and isolation. Was this freedom? To break away from those wrecked chains of isolation, the chains that disconnected him and the world.
「❆」— “Y… you can see me…?” It came out like a mere whisper, and it was highly probable that she couldn’t even hear what he just said. His brain was filled with confusing scatters of bits and pieces and my God, it was hard to function right now. He briefly took glances at himself, still pondering if this was a dream, but quickly shook his head in denial.

it was plenty real.
"She… she sees me. she sees me…!His joy couldn’t be contained and without even him noticing or caring, the area they were in was beginning to snow, blanketing the already freshly fallen snow the two individuals were standing on. Jack’s mouth quickly grew into a smile as he couldn’t help himself but playfully bounce around in excitement. Refreshing, new, this was something he needed to pull him out of his years of misery. Though, his smile faltered away abruptly when he realized that he completely tuned out the other woman.
If I could please have your name?Jack swallowed the knot in his throat, biting his under lip. Now, how would she react to this?
“Jack. My name… it’s Jack Frost.
What’s your name?”
