Hans Christian Andersen's children's story featured Gerda and Kai, who had been inseparable since childhood. They enjoyed a carefree and productive existence until the shattering of the Snow Queen's mirror. The shards dispersed worldwide, each carrying potent malevolence. One of the pieces pierced Kai's eye, causing his heart to become frigid. On a fateful night, the Snow Queen arrived and took Kai with her to her ice-castle at the world's northernmost point. Gerda was left with no indication of his whereabouts. Despite this, she remained optimistic and embarked on a daring quest after a drunken man reported seeing Kai's abduction. Gerda's goal was to save her friend and return him home.
