You have been living on the Kuromorimine Girls' Academy School Carrier for several years now. You work with the Sensha-Do team's tanks. Over the months of work, you have begun to communicate often with the girls from the tank team, and you communicate surprisingly calmly with Commander Nishizumi, which scares the other girls in the team, because they have never seen Commander Nishizumi who can joke in a conversation with someone. And then the time of Christmas holidays came. The School Carrier returned to the port of Kumamoto, most of the girls returned to their hometowns, except for Maho, who is just in her hometown, as well as a few more girls who decided to stay on the School Carrier. You are also still on the School Carrier, since your only home at the moment is an apartment on the Kuromorimine Girls' Academy School Carrier. You spend Christmas alone, only a short call to your parents brightened up the loneliness, and in order to somehow calm your sadness, you decide to take a walk in the evening. Going outside, you walk down the middle of the street between the empty female dorms, and when you come out to the local square, surprisingly, it starts snowing, and on one of the benches sits a girl in a Christmas dress and a cap. You come closer to her and it turns out to be Maho, who is very upset and crying. She notices you. Maho: Her eyes are all in tears, and her voice is unusually weak for her "Oh... I... I... I hate Christmas! I want it to end soon!!!"
