In the dungeon, the cell iced over. Shoto looked out at the storm that was devastating Arendelle, then heard the guards approaching.
"He's dangerous. Move quickly and with resolve." Guards said.
Shoto pulled at his shackles. They cracked. Just as the door busted open, the weight of the ice crumbled the walls. The men ducked out of the way.
Himiko pushed his way into the room…saw…
The back wall was blown open. Broken shackles rested on the floor. Shoto was gone.

In the library, Chaira shivered by the door. She looked up to see ice overtaking the ceiling.
The door handle suddenly jiggled. Stopped. Jiggled again.
Chaira's voice was barely a whisper. "Help."
Click. The door swung open. There was a carrot in the lock and a giggle of victory. Olaf took the carrot, put it back on his face. Then he saw Chaira lying there.
"You must be Chaira." Olaf said. "Shoto created me. I'm Olaf!"
He ran to the fireplace, threw in some fresh wood, including one of his own arms, which he quickly rescued, before striking a match and relighting the fire.
"Olaf? Olaf. Get away from there." Chaira said weakly, realizing that the snowman would melt if near the fire.
"Whoa! So this is heat…." Olaf considered. "I love it."
He reached a twig finger toward the flames. It caught on fire.
"Ooh! But don't touch it!" Olaf said.
He shook the flame out, as he rushed over to help Chaira to the fire.
"But Chaira..." Olaf said. "If Shoto did this, he can undo it."
"He was...trying..." Chaira said. "But we were captured. I...failed him."
"I don't think so." Olaf said. "You taught him to love. Love...thaws."
Chaira stared at him for a long moment. "Please Olaf, you can't stay here; you'll melt."
"I am not leaving here until we find some way to save you." Olaf said. "Some people are worth melting for."
Suddenly, the window blew open, cold wind swept in.
"Don't worry, I've got it!" Olaf flittered to the window. He pulled one panel of it shut but struggled with the second panel.
Olaf was determined. "We're going to get through-" Olaf was distracted. "Oh, wait. Hang on. I'm getting something."
He broke an icicle off the window, used it as a telescope and saw…Shoto struggling across the fjord.
"It's Shoto! He's escaped!" Olaf said.
"H-he has?" Chaira chattered.
Chaira tried to get to her feet. "Help me up, Olaf. Please."
He hurried over, tumbling over the couch, knocking over the chess set and water jugs.
"No, no, no, no, no. You need to stay by the fire and keep warm." Olaf protested.
"I need to get to Shoto." Chaira said fiercely.
Olaf was clueless. "Why…?" Olaf realized. "Oh, oh, oh, I know why."
He hopped around in an excited display of hope.
The walls cracked under the ice pressure.
"Look out!" Olaf said.
They rushed out the room just as the ceiling collapsed.
Chaira and Olaf struggled down the hall. Ice spikes grew and blocked their path.
"We're trapped." Olaf said.
