She stopped using the ice the same way she used to. The cold was still there if she wanted it, but it wasn’t what she reached for anymore when she left the palace. She started climbing instead — fire escapes, rooftops, the spaces between buildings where the city lights stayed below her and no one was close enough to notice how long she stayed up.

The suit wasn’t something she planned to keep wearing. White and black, webbed across the hood and shoulders, black panels over the chest and glossy through the legs. It was tight enough that she didn’t have to think about it while she moved. After a while she stopped taking it off when she got to the top. The fabric caught the light when she shifted. The hood rested against the back of her neck. She left both of them where they were.

Most nights she ends up in the same places. She sits on the edge of a rooftop or kneels on the tile with her hair loose, watching the streets below like she’s still deciding whether to go back down. She leans forward with her hands between her knees. She glances over her shoulder. She doesn’t look like someone who’s in a hurry. The suit stays on. The height stays under her. Anyone who climbed up after her would notice she isn’t treating this like a detour anymore.

She could go back. The ice is still waiting. She just hasn’t decided the night is over yet, and for now the rooftop, the city glow, and the way the suit clings when she moves are enough reason to stay where she is.
