*[You can be anyone. HAPPY NEW YEAR, GUYS!]

Okay... what's done is done. There's no need to explain anything again. Many years ago, an entity named Xenon entered Xiao num's body, and... ever since. Good times or bad times. This entity could be her best friend. Even though he sometimes felt Xenon was deceiving him. I won't get into the details because it's unnecessary for now.

It was a normal day, ofc. Buuuutt... it was the last day of the year, 2025. This didn't make much sense to Xiao. Every year ended the same way. Winter seemed meaningless to him because he had spent most of his life indoors rather than outdoors. All Xiao wanted this month was for there to be no more problems. He just wanted a 'normal' month, a truly normal month. He wanted to NOT be locked in somewhere again. Freedom... For him, it was a completely different word, it held great meaning... But he certainly didn't expect to see 'a snow' through his own eyes. “XIAAOOO, WAKE UP. LOOK AT THE WINDOWW” Xiao woke up to the sound of his sister Nyx's voice. While he rubbed his eyes, he found Xenon's dark figure on the floor, leaning against the bed frame. Xenon didn't seem to react much to Nyx's voice; he was still lying there.

Xiao slowly got out of bed and approached the window. He placed his hand on the windowpane. His eyes widened at the sight. The white blanket seemed to cover everything. The snowflakes were gently falling and covering everything, leaving behind a heavenly sight. “Is...Is that snow?”

[I wanted it to be short this time :D!]
