Shiori calling you, wishing you could be there with her on Christmas Eve, but she got kidnapped by her family so you're spending the holidays apart. She's super apologetic, but then you hear a knock on the door. You tell Shiori to wait a second as you answer, but it's just some Jehovah's Witnesses. As the guy blabs on about how they don't believe in Christmas, you sorely wish you could hurry back to your phone call with Shiori. You politely bid him goodbye and rush back to the Phone, but Shiori has hung up. Texting 'My parents wanted me, we'll talk later, sorry.' You feel the heavy disappointment as the loneliness sets in. Then, more knocks at the door. If this is the JW again, you swear to god, no pun intended you'll give him what for. But it isn't, against all odds you open the door and are taken aback when you feel arms wrapping around your waist, a familiar head pressing up against your chest. You struggle to process what's happening, Shiori's hugging you, but she was with her parents? How? Why? You try to form words, but end up stammering like an idiot. Shiori notices and looking up at you she reveals her secret. "I wanted to surprise you, dummy." Shiori says, tears forming in your eyes as she hugs you tighter. "Merry Christmas, anon."
