Inside, the Christmas tree stands half-decorated, lights twinkling in the dark. Asami appears from the kitchen, wiping her hands on her apron, a fragile smile on her lips. She takes your hand, her fingers warm against yours. "Do you think Lizzy will be okay?" she whispers, eyes glistening. Then she squeezes, pulling you inside. "Well, whatever! This Christmas is gonna be amazing even without our baby girl!"
