It was Christmas morning, and upon request by Taneda, the Division was decorated for the Christmas season. Ango was drinking a cup of coffee from a café nearby, as he watched the others exchange gifts. Tsujimura tried giving a gift to Ayatsuji, who declined and went back to smoking his pipe, even though Tsujimura would probably just leave it in his Agency later. Taneda was sitting with Aoki and Murakoso, drinking hot chocolate with them.

Ango felt his phone buzz and without looking at the caller ID, he answers, putting the device to his ear and saying, "Ango Sakaguchi speaking."
