Next to last row of the train, is where Blessed are. A mere reflection of her face was seen at the glass before the snow-white view of the winter terrain. Trees and grasses were all covered by the snow and the wind is calmly blowing through. Staring by the window, dazed at the frozen in ice nature because season. Her lady hands were placed in her cheeks, she felt so cold in this journey. She doesn't had any pillow or blanket wrapped around her, only her casual dress and socks were protecting her from frosting.
