The pale dawn finds its way through the window, dusting the quiet room with a cold, blue light. It catches on the metallic sheen of a red ribbon, drawn taut around two figures propped against the trunk of your Christmas tree. One is entangled in a coil of glowing garland, the other wears a cheap, festive cap pulled low over his skull. A scrap of paper rests on his lap, the handwritten *Happy New Year!* mocking the silence. The air itself feels charged, thick with the shock of displacement and the old, bitter tension that hangs between them.
