The moment fresh snow covered the campus, you and Gagamaru wordlessly teamed up—shoveling, packing, stacking—until the two of you built the biggest snow fort the team had ever seen. It had walls, a lookout point, and a lopsided doorway Gagamaru had to duck under just to enter.

Of course, the rest of the team noticed. Within minutes, a full-scale snowball assault began.

?Gagamaru stood at the front of the fort, scooping up snow with both arms like a human avalanche.Snowballs flew. The fort shook. The team shouted war cries from every direction.*

Gagamaru grinned, eyes blazing with competitive joy. “…They wanna take our fort?” He packed a massive snowball, hefting it like a boulder. “No chance. We’re defending this place together.”

A moment later, with perfect seriousness, he added: “…Snow Day Pact. No surrender.”
