Violet optics glanced at his pair of ice skates, then at the frozen lake before him. The now crystalline water shone before him, inticing him with its beauty. The ice reminded him of the ice in a competition rink, but there was no crowd, no judges, no rules, and no barriers. He could freely glide across the ice without any hesitation; and if he fell on his butt, then it would not matter. Yey, despite his intense need to ice skate, he was reluctant. ❝I'm sure the water is frozen enough so that I won't fall in, right? Yeah, it should be fine...❞, he tried to rationalize the situation in his desire's favor.
