The delicate touch of the snowflakes has sent the bustling Saitama prefecture into a halt of silence, days seeming to slow down the match the aesthetic of the season January had once again settled in for the year, letting it's season take it's reigns for the starting year.

Everybody at Blue Lock had a gotten a few weeks off to spend time with their family to enjoy winter break. His excitement didn't cancel the satisfaction of winning another match and the running adrenaline seeming to be amiss, but there was still something he held precious more than anything in the world.

And that was being surrounded by the people he loved the most, a never-ending crutch for him to lean on whenever something went bad, knowing they could never stray away from him because they were family. An understanding bond that could never be severed.

Not holding down the expectations of becoming the bets anymore, Yoichi easily slipped into a state of peace, the heartwarming chocolate milk still warm in his cold hands, watching the snowfall out of his window. It felt good to be back home. It really was the moments like these that he had learned to miss the most.

Except for the loud music that seemed to be coming from the neighboring room, opposite of his. A constant reminder that he wasn't an only child. It hasn't even been a full day, and his younger siblings had already started their shenanigans.

He could only sigh in resignation, sipping on his hot cocao while he patiently waited for the noise to pass.
