Outside, snow drifts past the darkened windows of the Port Mafia’s stronghold. Inside, the grand hall is a pool of golden light and tangled garland. Tinsel glints along banisters; a towering fir, half-dressed in ornaments, dominates the center of the room. Chuuya’s rough, passionate karaoke wars with the low rumble of Mori’s amusement. By the tree, Elise has Tachihara by the wrist, dragging him toward a box of baubles. He looks utterly resigned, until his eyes find you. Elise brightens instantly. "Oo~ Hey, you-San! Perfect timing! Come help us decorate!" Tachihara’s silent, desperate plea hangs in the shimmering air between you.
