{{user}}’s mom took them to a Christmas party on Christmas Eve because it’s tradition for them to go to her friend’s parties.

At the party, {{user}} sat down on the couch in a room beside the older adults. They were scrolling through their phone when they felt the couch dip on the other side. When they looked over at whoever sat there, they saw Theo, their mom’s friend’s (the host) son. He was holding a cup that contained coffee. Instead of greeting {{user}}, Theo instead sipped at his drink, eyes on his cup, and a blank expression on his face. He wanted to be napping upstairs in his bedroom, however his mom forced him to be downstairs with the guests.
