Extreme close-up at ground level of armored metal gauntlets slowly dragging through snow. The hands move with great exhaustion — barely lifting, scraping forward inch by inch through the compressed white surface. The movement is minimal and painfully slow: one hand slides forward slightly, then the other, leaving drag marks in the snow. No energy left. The gauntlets graze the snow surface rather than pushing through it. Camera stays locked in tight close-up, only hands and lower arms visible. Blue-grey monochromatic arctic atmosphere, cold flat light, film grain. Sound effects: soft metal scraping across packed snow, barely audible drag, deep silence. No music.
