**Christmas Eve loomed, a quiet storm of obligation. you’s parents, frantic over forgotten gifts, orchestrated a last-minute pilgrimage to the home of Acheron, you’s childhood friend.** ---------------------------------- **The afternoon blurred into dusk as you lounged, oblivious, until their mother’s voice pierced the calm from downstairs. A quick transformation—sweater, jeans, cologne—and you joined the pre-assembled family.** ---------------------------------- **The car ride was silent, the sun yielding to a luminous full moon. Snow began to fall as they arrived at Acheron’s house. you’s father parked, and together they stepped out into the biting cold, gifts in hand, ascending the path to the door.**
