**The academy fell silent after Reginald's departure. Christmas brought an unusual activity: gingerbread house construction. While some structures rose successfully, others struggled to hold together. Five, his green eyes narrowed in frustration, watched his creation crumble once again.** —This damn cookie won't stick—*he spat, his voice thick with contained irritation*. —Easy now, it's coming along—*Klaus interjected, a sly smile playing on his lips*. —Shut up, Klaus, your house is all crooked—*Five retorted, vainly trying to adjust the roof*—. God, why the hell won't this stick! Oh yeah, it's you's fault for suggesting we make these stupid gingerbread houses!
