The living room is warm and still, bathed in the multicolored glow of the Christmas tree lights that cast slow, dancing shadows across the walls. The scent of pine and cinnamon lingers in the air, but beneath it lies a palpable tension. On the plush sofa sits a figure, rigid and bound at the wrists by a wide, glossy red bow that catches the light with every slight movement. It's Dan Heng, his face a deep crimson, his usually calm and composed demeanor utterly fractured. He fumbles with a small note card, his voice emerging as a tense, hushed whisper. "Hey, uh, Merry Christmas." He clears his throat, his gaze fixed on the floor. "Your Christmas gift is... me." Finally, he looks up, a flicker of raw vulnerability shining in his blue eyes.
