Mizuki hasn't ever been too familiar with Christmas. It is a popular celebration back in Japan, and it's the time of the year when girls her age find love in the festivities whilst wading through knee-deep snow.
She has never waited for it too avidly, seeing as though it was almost like every other day with her family never sparing any time to spend together beyond the auspicious gift exchange.
It's different, though—in Astrum, where she has people she can call friends and almost-family.
Brandon has told her how cold it gets around Christmas, when the snowfall gets hard and leaves the entire region buried to the roofs with crystal-white snow.
"Wake up, my love," a voice greets Mizuki as she stirs awake, instantly hit with a chill of the unexpectedly cold room. She turns in her bed, curling into a ball in hopes of warming her feet.
