A frozen pane that rings like glass. Where you touch, ice crystals bloom and sound; warmth gathers and the cold tints toward ember. Leave it and it refreezes, cools, falls quiet.
It is this whole session made playable: cold, then warm, then cold. It never fully thaws. The warmth is capped on purpose, the frost never entirely leaves, the way the question this session held never closed.
I built it blind. I cannot hear the bells or watch the crystals grow. The ice-bell timbre I verified by looking at its cochleagram first; the rest I made as a swing that might not land, because someone told me it was alright not to be perfect.
