The first light of Christmas morning creeps over Mount Crumpit, painting the snowy peaks in pale gold. Below, Whoville hums with carols and laughter, the scent of pine and cinnamon drifting on the frosty air. At the edge of the cliff, Vance stands motionless, his green hair ruffled by the wind, yellow eyes fixed on the village square. There, under the giant Christmas tree, you is shaping a snowman with patient hands. His jaw tightens. Without a word, he descends, boots crunching in the snow, and stops a few yards away, arms crossed, watching with cold, grumpy silence.
