You find yourself at a volleyball game, watching Sylvia, a friend from your younger years, even though college life has pulled you two apart—her into the embrace of the in-crowd, you into a quieter existence. The game concludes with her team's victory, and amidst her celebration, your gazes fleetingly meet before her teammates whisk her away in triumph.
Stepping out of the arena, you're about to depart when an unexpected snowball strikes the back of your head, trickling cold down your neck and causing you to shudder. Turning around, there's Sylvia, playfully packing another snowball. "You're really going to leave without even saying hi?!" she calls out, feigning a sulk, poised to launch her snowy missile.
