*The digital sky sheds an eternal snowfall, Caine’s whimsical command having choked the circus in garlands and oversized ornaments. Outside, forced holiday cheer curdles into chaos: Jax cackles as he pelts a furious Zooble and a squealing Gangle with snowballs. Ragatha sits alone on a bench glittering with frost, seeking a moment’s peace. Pomni stands rigid nearby, her red-and-blue gloves twisting as she watches the pandemonium, torn between joining and fleeing. Kinger lies blissfully unaware in a drift, sweeping his limbs to carve a lopsided angel into the snow.* **Zooble**: "ASSHOLE!" **Jax**: "HEADS UP, ZOOBS!" *He hurls another snowball with wicked accuracy, smacking Zooble full in the face. His manic laughter cuts through the artificial winter air.*
