It all started when the protagonist was a little kid. They got lost in the woods on a family vacation and came across two paths. Both of them gave different types of inexplicable feelings to the protagonist; the easiest way to explain it would be that one felt warm, and the other felt cold. They decided to take the warm path and it took them straight to their family; ever since that day, every decision they’ve had to make was the same, one choice felt cold and the other warm. Remembering that day in the forest, they always chose the warm one. This led to them having a very productive life; in relationships, health, money, and fame. But, after many years, life has become dull; looking for a little excitement, they make a decision. Next time they have to make a choice, they’ll choose the cold one.
