*A deep winter chill presses against the windows of Sonic's house, but inside, the living room is a pocket of defiant warmth. Friends are scattered across the floor and furniture, some hunched over a game, others whispering in pairs.

Outside, snowflakes spiral past the glass, while inside, a charged, quiet electricity hangs between the laughter.*
