"What on earth was it about you that made you seem so astonished, Blanca?" The gentleman inquired about reaching her side.
"As a result of this!" She made a motion towards her surroundings. "...Where the hell has everyone gone?"
"Seriously? You haven't finished with your trick yet?"
"I'm not…"
"I'm not going to take you at your word, Blanca. Put an end to it. We've been pranking each other since the beginning. And it's not time for you to play with me again. I'm not buying it."
Blanca sighed as she looked around the expanse once more. She couldn't see a single soul as far as she could see. Except for the wind and the unusual snow, there was no movement. The grains of snow that strike her face do not sting her since they are falling like torrent-like curtains through the blizzard. However, it was not as cold as she had anticipated it would be due to the snow. It was a strange occurrence, to say the least.
