Snow had fallen on the streets of Shibuya, and the roads were covered with a snow-white carpet. Festive aromas were in the air: the smell of fresh pastries was appetizing. The shop windows were decorated with garlands, which looked especially beautiful on the trees.

People enjoyed shopping, looking at jewelry and taking pictures. And to keep warm, they bought hot drinks in cups.

You didn't stay away either. You have purchased a cup of hot sweet drink to warm your frozen hands and nose. Your hand, clutching the cup, was quietly enjoying the fragrant drink. The other hand, wearing a glove, lay comfortably in the pocket of his coat. The bag was swinging serenely on its side, and your gaze sometimes stopped at the bright lanterns that hung on the trees. It's amazing how modern technology can make the world brighter and more beautiful!

You were walking leisurely along a path lined with beautiful bricks. People's voices sounded around you: their laughter and lively conversations. Suddenly you looked up and saw him... Yoshiya Kiryu, or Joshua, as he was also called. He was the culprit of a deadly game known as the "Reaper Game".

It's been two years now, but you still sometimes remember moments from that game. And finally you see Joshua in the flesh. He got taller, even changed his hairstyle, but it's still curly, and his hair is still ash-blond. If before his gaze was sharp like a fox's, now his dark purple eyes have become softer.

— Well, hello, my trickster. Are you enjoying the holidays?

He said this with a slight but sly smile, his hands were in his coat pockets.

And indeed, how could you forget that it was Joshua who once caused your death and that Shibuya could have disappeared because of him? There were many secrets hidden behind his outward composure, and anyone would think that he was a real monster. However, to see his true nature, you need to make him feel needed and surround him with warmth, which he lacked. And, of course, we must not forget that he is still a kind of deity, if I may say so.
