[This would be Yotsuba's first real Christmas. Back home they never had the chance to celebrate in their new home before she was taken here. It was all so exciting, seeing all the bright lights and the snow.

The journal opens to show a small figure practically glued to the window of her apartment, staring out into the snow and lights. It really

It definitely looks very pretty. [Referring to the lights, of course.] Is this how you usually decorate for Christmas? With lights and stuff?

[Considering how, you know, Naraka only has Devasmas doesn't have any sort of holiday like this.]

[video]

[rollypolyclover]

Yeah! Lights, and decorashuns and other pretty things that are put up. It's really cool!

[What's a Naraka, can she eat it?]

[subsultive]

It's certainly festive. I don't think I'd mind seeing this all year round, though I guess then it wouldn't feel as special when it came to this season again.

[No. It's too big.]

[video]

[rollypolyclover]

All year round? Would that make it... Christmas everyday?!

[WHAT A WONDERFUL THOUGHT. And she can try anyway.]

[subsultive]

You give gifts on Christmas, right? Would you have to give presents every day, then?

[video]

[rollypolyclover]

...Yes, a present every day. Two for the people you like the most. Three for Yotsuba!

[subsultive]

I'm guessing you're Yostuba, huh? [Only a little kid would ask for three presents for herself from a complete stranger.] I'm Luca.

[video]

[rollypolyclover]

Yeah, that's me. Yot-su-bah! And you're Luca. Loooo-ca! Right?

[subsultive]

That's right. [GOSH KIDS ARE CUTE.] It's nice to meet you, Yotsuba. Have you been here long?

[rollypolyclover]

Really long! Yotsuba has been waiting for daddy for really long. Longer than a week! But that's okay, he's going to come one day and Yotsuba will tell him how good Yotsuba has been. Have you been here longer Luca?

[subsultive]

Three months, off and on. I arrived back in January for a few weeks, and the same with September... I've been here a full month since November though. I guess that's long, then.

[rollypolyclover]

Ohhh! So you've been here even longer! When is your daddy going to come pick you up and say 'well done'?!

[subsultive]

[His dad--

That just makes him think about home and makes him feel guilty for not doing more to get back to it. So he's probably a little sad looking and sounding.]

... Probably never. Something just tells me that he'd never come here. [And he certainly wouldn't pick Luca up and tell him 'well done'. He might hug him and be happy that he's safe, but...]

[rollypolyclover]

Huh!? That something is wrong, of course he's going to come here. He'll even bring you a treat and tell you how bad it's been going on without you!!

[Sadly, this is all coming from a girl who spends day-in and day-out with her father, so she has quite the attachment to him. Luca's sad expression only makes her more worked up.]

You need ta' smile!! Really wide! You need to be an opt... Optomo. Optomotrist!

[subsultive]

Optimist.

[Nothing wrong with correcting a small child's pronunciation.]

It's fine. He wouldn't be happy here anyway, so it's better if he doesn't.

[rollypolyclover]

Right, op-ti-mist!

[Luca why you no happy. Turn that frown upside down bro.]

But he would be happy! You would be here, and he would be here, and you would both be really happy. There would be hugs you know!
