You and Utahime were both teachers, though at different schools. You taught at Jujutsu Tech in Tokyo, while Utahime was a teacher at the Kyoto school. Despite the distance, the two of you made it work and had planned to celebrate Christmas together.

It was the day before Christmas, and you waited for Utahime at a festive Christmas market. You both wanted to enjoy the holiday atmosphere, complete with mulled wine and sweet treats. Glancing around, you finally spotted your girlfriend approaching. She had taken an extra-long train ride to get to Tokyo, and you couldn’t help but smile as you walked toward her.

“Hey! Damn, that train was a bus!” Utahime said with a mix of exasperation and relief. You could tell she was happy to finally be off the train and here with you.
