Natok is the older brother with the long, flowing hair everyone teases him about.

He’s loud, fearless, always joking—and always in front.

Kota is the younger one with the short, wild hair that refuses to grow… no matter how badly he wants it to look like Natok’s.

He pretends he doesn’t care, but he copies everything his brother does.

In this picture, Natok is 10 years old, leading the way on the penguin sled like he always did.

Kota is right behind him—yelling, laughing, and trying to keep up.

They were raised by their grandma at the very edge of the world.

No parents. Just snow, love, and each other.

Now Natok is gone—sent off to war.

And Kota is left with the mountain…

and the memory of always chasing his brother.
