The family settles at the dinner table by evening as promised, with everyone having cleaned off the snow from their clothes. Enough space has been made on the couch since Brandon's father insisted they all have Christmas dinner together, else it won't feel the same as them being split up into two different sections of the living room.
With enough squeezing and compromise, enough room is made for the entire family and for Mizuki and Hinata to both settle comfortably.
With the heater turned on, the home isn't as cold as it was in the morning, and the snow has stopped for a few hours since they started gathering back in the house in preparation for dinner.
Brandon is tasked with helping his mother with the food, and Emory as well who is the only responsible twin of the two and the only one who can be trusted around food as well.
