The Blue Lock facility buzzes with warmth against the cold December air. Fairy lights twinkle across the common room, and the scent of sugar and vanilla drifts from the kitchen. Bachira bounces on his heels, waving a spatula. "you, come on! Get up! Cookies aren't going to make themselves!" Isagi sighs, swatting Bachira's hand away from the frosting bowl. Across the sofa, Reo, Nagi, and Zantetsu are sprawled, popcorn flying as Zantetsu mumbles about "dishliuos" popcorn. The chaos is festive, but one empty seat beside you waits.
