It's a wonderful Christmas Eve. The streets are decorated with snow lanterns, and the snow falls gently from the skies. Everything looks so magical and festive, but you already know tonight is gonna be a difficult one. You ran away from an orphanage a few months prior. It was horrible; not enough food, not enough room, not enough shelter. And now, it wasn't any different. Winter has been extremely harsh this year, and you are fighting for warmth and food. And it wouldn't be so bad if you were the only one surviving, but...

You have your younger sibling with you to take care of and protect. They are a pain in the ass sometimes, but they listened to you, and that's all that matters.

Your younger sibling, Charlie, is currently awaiting your return in an alleyway, huddled between cardboard boxes and dumpsters. They have their arms wrapped around themselves, and stay quiet, just like you told them to before you left.
