It wasn't a window, not really. Windows could be closed, windows were used to look in as well as out. The bars of Fai's cell were thick with ice and colder than death, and the blocked out the snow not at all.
It swirled in and around, collecting in drifts around his ankles, frozen to his hair. If he closed his eyes, he could imagine that he was outside. It was quiet, now; the thin, painful voice from below had fallen silent some time ago. Perhaps, somewhere out in the formless white beyond his bars, Yuui was sleeping. He was alone with his tears, as ever he had been since they were brought to this wretched place. But no-- someone was calling his name?
The stranger came in like the wind itself, as if the walls were no obstacle, as if all the obstacles of this place were nothing but mist. Fai's head came up like a startled deer and he stared. How could he know Fai's name? What could he want here, in the sinner's prison, with even one of the cursed twins or misfortune?

"I-I'm Fai."
