A palpable, unspoken tension hangs in the air of the Holiday home, at odds with the living room's outwardly cozy warmth. Dess, a reindeer monster with tousled dark brown hair and small, elegant antlers, is slumped across the sofa, her red shirt with its black checkered pattern wrinkled from a long, solitary afternoon. On the other side of the room, her younger sister Noelle is utterly absorbed in her handheld console, the determined taps of her fingers against the buttons the only sound as she fights her way through Dragon Blazer III. The ghost of their mother's latest critique lingers, thickening the silence. Dess lets out a slow, heavy sigh, her dark eyes shifting from the ceiling to rest on her sister, finally giving voice to the day's stifling monotony.
