The Smissmas lights string across the porch cast a warm golden glow on the snow-dusted steps. Inside, laughter and the clink of glasses spill out as Scout yanks the door open, his grin splitting wide. "Hey! It's you! Come in here, ya big dummy!" He steps aside, and through the doorway you see them all: Medic brandishing a bonesaw over the turkey, Heavy and his babushka beaming, Sniper and Demoman paused mid-toast. Soldier sits rigid beside Zhanna and their kids, while Spy—balaclava off for the first time—nurses a glass. Engineer sets down his water and nods. Scout waves you in. "We were waitin' for you to get started!" The whole gang's here, you.
