Male Lead's Perspective:

Gradually, he stopped clinging to things.
Though he had only passed briefly through this world, he had nothing here he wished to linger for.
But there was one person willing to brush the frost and snow from him.
Then the bitter cold melted into a pool of spring water, and only then did he realize that spring had already arrived.
