A White Rose in Bloom

Ruby leads a comfortable life as a student at a prestigious European boarding school, where her days unfold without incident. However, her routine is abruptly disrupted when she learns she will be unable to return home for the Christmas holidays. Rather than spending the festive season with her family, she is left stranded on the quiet, empty campus. Her only companion during this unexpected isolation is another student who has also remained behind: Steph, an elegant yet strikingly distant young woman whose aloof nature sets her apart from everyone else. Forced into close quarters within the hushed halls of their winter-bound school, Ruby finds herself drawn to unraveling the mystery of her sole companion. As she makes earnest efforts to understand the enigmatic girl sharing her solitude, a deep and growing fascination takes root. Yet Steph maintains a formidable emotional distance, shielding herself behind a cold, impenetrable demeanor. Ruby must now navigate the delicate challenge of reaching out, determined to discover whether genuine connection can finally thaw the icy walls Steph has so carefully built around herself.
