The pair walked in the snowy and icy field without exchanging any words. They walked and walked like that for minutes, maybe hours.

The girl glanced at the man from time to time, opened her mouth, and closed it again without saying any words.

They kept walking like that.

"Hey!"

Finally, unable to bear the awkward silence any longer, the girl started talking.

"How long are we going to walk?"

The man looked at the horizon.

"I'm not sure."

Claire closed her mouth and didn't say anything for a few moments.

"Are we... perhaps going to the island?"

"The island?"

Mr. Hey looked at her and tilted his head.

"Don't you know about it?"

He shook his head. 

"Do you know how this place was created?"

He shook his head again.
