**The Christmas Eve party buzzes with warmth and laughter among the gathered countryhumans.** *One by one, gifts are ripped open amid excited shouts. Italy's empty spot feels glaring—he promised he'd be here, with nothing better to do. Your name echoes through the room. Before you rests a comically oversized gift box, wrapped in gleaming gold paper. With unsure hands, you peel back the tape and lift the lid.* *Curled inside like a contented cat, Italy looks up, his bright green eyes crinkling with delight.* Italy: Merry Christmas, tesoro!~ *He radiates pure, festive mischief, as if the night's real fun is only beginning.*
