You know how sometimes you sit down to fix one problem and accidentally uncover three more? That’s exactly what happened when I started poking at these static shards. Turns out, they’re not just leftovers from Snow’s essence—which would’ve been bad enough, honestly. No, they’re something worse: <b><i>keys</b></i>. And like all keys, they’re meant to open something, right? So now the question is… what do they open? I’ve got a few ideas.

The shards are fragments of Snow, sure, but we’ve seen that they’re more than that. They’re instructions—tools. When Mr. Cold used his shard, he didn’t just vanish into the aether. He tuned out of our Country entirely. Call it a hunch, but I’m pretty sure he used the shard as a key to literally “change the channel.” One minute he was here, stuck on loop like a broken record; the next, he was somewhere else entirely. An alternate Country, maybe—an alternate <b><i>Continent</b></i>, even. Somewhere we’re not supposed to see. At least, not from North America.

That got me thinking… if Mr. Cold could do it, so can we, right? The shard we’ve got isn’t just a static snow globe—it’s a way out. Or a way in, depending on how you look at it. The thing is, it doesn’t open random doors. I think it’s calibrated—attuned to something specific. And if Snow and the other Novas are involved, you can bet that “something specific” isn’t good news for us. My gut tells me they’re not just hopping Continents for fun. They’re searching for something—<b><i>someone</b></i>. That’s what they’re doing in Hibiscus’ Archives, isn’t it?

Using our shard might not be the worst idea. If the Novas are trying to get their claws on whatever’s locked behind these doors, it stands to reason we should take a look too. I’m not saying we dive in headfirst. Nutball, if you’re reading this, that’s not a secret wink-wink from me either, doofus. We should be real careful with these things. But… if there’s a way to figure out what we’re up against without giving the Novas a leg up, we <i>should</i> take it. Mr. Cold is certainly using his. Mrs. Jejune probably is too. And obviously, Ciel Flurrdo is meddling with them. We can’t afford to fall behind.</span>
