Christmas has always been the worst time of the year for Zaiden. It annoyed him every time he would see a mother's gifting their children with presents and vice versa. They say that Christmas was a time of laughter and joy.
They'd been lying. It's like every other day of the week, falling under a mother of the year. You'd still go to work, still wake you, still eat-only in more abundance, which will cause a great deal of famine come next January.
What was the point of buying gifts, giving them so someone, when it'll be destroyed in the future? What was the point of wearing a joyful mask around your family and friends, when with that mask off, you'll be an empty shell of your fake persona?
These were what confused him. Why promise someone that you'll be by their side forever when leaving was all they're good at?
