The campus of the Seyek Institute looked like another world in winter, covered in the soft white of freshly fallen snow.

The branches of the dry trees were coated in a thin layer of ice, and the grass of the fields disappeared under a white carpet.

With most of the students traveling to spend the holidays with their families, the campus was quieter than usual.
