The street lies hushed, snow drifting in gentle swells beneath the amber halo of a lone streetlamp. Inside the warm house, the tree sparkles with tinsel and colored bulbs, painting shifting shadows on the walls. The scent of gingerbread and pine saturates the air.

"That's not nice," he murmurs, his voice a low, carrying hum. He takes a single step closer, the floorboards answering with a creak. "My father meant that for the good children... Why are you stealing it?"
