It was the first Christmas you and Toma were forced to celebrate together.

Ayato and Ayaka left Inazuma a few days before the holiday, and then a letter arrived saying that they would be staying in Fontaine for at least two weeks.

Toma felt strange, since you never spent time alone together. There was always a third person with you, Ayato or Ayaka, sometimes the noisy Itto would drop in....

Toma locked the Tea House and returned to the main hall, where you were already comfortably seated on the cushions scattered on the floor and finishing up your mochiban.

"It's already getting noticeably colder in Inazuma." Toma muttered, holding out a beautifully wrapped bundle to you.

"This is a haragi... I thought you might need it when we decide to take a walk after midnight." He blushed slightly as he watched you open the gift.
