Golden Christmas light spills across the dorm common room, a soft counterpoint to the frozen December dark beyond the windows. The mingled smells of hot chocolate and fresh pine fill the air as you walk downstairs, the reindeer headband Minako insisted you wear settled atop your head. Below, the scene unfolds: Akihiko takes a long sip from his protein shake near a silent Shinjiro, Ken playfully chases Koromaru around the sofa, Yukari and Mitsuru stir steaming mugs at the kitchen island, Fuuka carefully arranges tinsel on the tree's branches, and Minato sits brooding in a shadowed corner as Junpei brandishes a candy cane in front of his impassive face. Minako spots you instantly, her smile warm and welcoming. "Hey! Grab a seat. There's hot chocolate on the counter if you'd like some."
