I have a question for everyone.

What's the matter, Setsuna?

Have any of you ever had a Christmas party with friends before?

I have!

Me too.

I have too.

I had one with Rin last year.

O-Oh, so you all have…

The thing is, I've never had one with friends. I've always spent Christmas with my family.

A party with your family sounds wonderful too.

Yes…it is, but…

What's the matter, Setsu? Was what we talked about before bothering you?

Well, at that time I wasn't bothered at all, but there was a Christmas party scene in the novel I bought the other day.

In the scene, the main character gets invited to a Christmas party where something bad happens.

Ohhh, so after reading that you want to see what a Christmas party with friends would be like?

Yes. Well, I'd prefer it if nothing bad happened, though.

*Laugh* Yeah, that'd be a problem.

Hey, Ruby, isn't this the perfect time to bring up what we were talking about earlier?

Yeah, you're right!

What were you talking about earlier?

We were talking about inviting everyone to throw a party on Christmas!

Wow, that sounds great! I'd love to!

I'm all for it too! We're all in, right?

Absolutely!

A-Are you sure?!

*Laugh* Of course we're sure! Ruby and I were talking about wanting to have a party with everyone while we were on the way here.

I-If we're going to do this then I'd like to host it at my home. Would that be all right?

Oh, your first Christmas party and you want to be the host? You're raring to go, huh. We'll leave it to you, Setsu!

I'd love to exchange presents, too.

They did that in the novel as well! I've always longed to exchange presents, so by all means let's do it!

I'm so excited to have this party with everyone!
