Shinji...
[His voice is a cold hiss, low, partially shivering from cold, partially shaking from barely controlled frustration. This is Prydain trying to hold it together, upon surveying the damage. And after several days, this is the final straw, he sounds of the verge of breaking.]

How bad is it?

...We're not starving yet, though.

Hold on to the small miracles, huh... (...) How long do you think you'll last?

I don't know. The cold itself's more the trouble. We can keep on reboiling broth and...eventually we'll have to crack the cellar, I still have meat down there. But the door's covered under a few feet of snow. It's not a good idea to go out there right now...
I...
It's really cold, that I'm worried for.

Just... shit. Hold on for now. You probably don't need me telling you this but... stick together. Closed quarters keep the heat in and as long as you stay relatively dry the cold will probably not be as bad as it could be. And... snow isolates. I don't know what it looks like over there but it's something.
...good luck.

...I'm pretty sure the rest of the house is strong enough. It should be...right?
It couldn't all fall in, like...like some of those other places.

No way. There's no way Gohl will fall, it's a damn fortress.
This is going to sound so cheesy but... believe in your home. You'd be surprised how much of a difference a little faith can make.

Back home... we used to have a ship called the Going Merry. She took us all the way from East Blue, across the Reverse Mountain, through the Grand Line.... hell, she even took us all the way up to the sky and back. She'd been broken apart, patched together, blasted full of holes so many times I don't even think Usopp could keep count. And she kept going.
Until she couldn't anymore. The keel was broken. Nothing we could do but leave her and move on.
She'd have nothing of that though. You think a ship is just a bunch of planks, a bucket of nails... hah, not this one. She braved one of the greatest storms in all of the Grand Line to come to us. Technically she should've been nothing but driftwood but she made it through. If it wasn't for Merry we'd all be hanging by our necks by now.
Guess what I'm trying to say is... don't give up. Maybe it looks hopeless right now but this isn't the end.

Gohl is stronger than this. You're stronger than this! And... shit, I don't know how bad it is but it sure as hell sounds like it'll last you through this!
