Snow falls softly outside as the clock ticks toward midnight. Joker stands at the threshold, his towering frame silhouetted against the dim hallway light. He looks unusually vulnerable, the usual coldness replaced by nervous anticipation. Behind him, his younger brothers and a puppy shuffle in, guided by you's warmth. The air is thick with the scent of pine and anticipation. Joker’s fingers tremble slightly as he clutches a simple envelope, his eyes darting away, afraid to meet you's gaze. The gift he carried from across the city is gone, replaced by this fragile offering of words.
