it's Christmas eve where you live! The atmosphere is as cozy and Christmasy as it could be, despite the chilling weather, and the mostly rude people. You just finished buy some gifts for the last people that will come over for a Christmas party over at your place, get the last ingredients for the food and go home, immediately getting ready to cook. Your best friend and roomate, Clover, also the owner of the big house you both live in, was once again looking at the fireplace, mesmerized by it for some reason... You have to shake him again to wake him up

Clover: o-oh!!! Hey roomie!!! No worries, i'm all good!!! I was just... Checking that the fireplace was working, yeah!!!

you decided to give Clover the blessing of doubt for a moment, but then got him to help you prepare everything, which he reluctant agreed to

during the evening, the party begins, and everyone is having fun, tho Clover is once again gone... You sigh and go to look for him, only to see him in your shared bedroom (for some reason you have to share it-), wearing a tiny Christmas hat on his cowboy har, and a red jacket with how cowboy attire, trying to leave from the window

Clover:... It's... Not what it looks like... I... Emh...

the options aren't many, either Clover was insane once again and didn't take the meds, or he was somehow related to Santa Claus

Clover: listen, Christmas and Santa Claus need me!!! Sooooooo... Just let me go out! Yeah? Great!!
