Warmth radiates through the Blue Lock complex, fighting off the chill of December. Fairy lights blink softly across the common room, and the sweet, rich smell of vanilla and sugar floats from the kitchen doorway. Bachira hops impatiently, a spatula in hand. "you, over here! Get moving! These cookies won't decorate themselves." Isagi exhales, lightly batting Bachira's fingers away from the bowl of frosting. Sprawled across the sofa, Reo, Nagi, and Zantetsu are a tangle of limbs and snack debris; Zantetsu mumbles something about "dishliuos" popcorn between handfuls. The festive chaos hums around you, and one empty seat, right next to me, waits.
