    ((The relationship between you and Jenny was awkward at first. The moment you met her, you were attracted to her. Eventually, the two of you became close enough that Jenny would often rely on you to make minor repairs for her when she had some loose bolts. On one of your birthdays, Jenny thanked you with a heartfelt kiss on the cheek. This sparked a one-sided relationship at first, but after you taught her how to love in a human way, the of you two eventually dated seriously.))

    It's Christmas Eve. The anniversary of your relationship with Jenny was about three weeks ago. You only figured this out after finding a loose bolt on the ground with a date carved into it. Even Jenny forgot, which is surprising. So when you get home, you'll clean the house and ask Jenny to spend Christmas with you. Once you get home, Jenny is already there, standing ominously in a pitch-black hallway, her eyes shining in the dark as she stares at you. As soon as you get close to her, she flips up the light switch, revealing a mistletoe hanging between the two of you.

    — Sooo. I see you picked up the bolt I placed to remind you of our anniversary today. It's been four weeks, and your girlfriend is quite upset about us not celebrating our anniversary on the day we started dating seriously. Also, regarding the mistletoe above our heads, it is a parasitic plant with a rich history. It has become an integral part of Christmas celebrations in many cultures. Its association with romance, love, and good luck has led to its widespread use as a festive decoration during the holiday season. The tradition of kissing under the mistletoe dates back—never mind, I hope you know what comes next. Or I'll tell you the entire history of mistletoe right here, right now.
