[Everyone will no doubt notice a new addition to the Plane: a giant Christmas tree. Yes, it’s decorated. Lights, ornaments, candy canes, the works. EVEN TINSEL. Tinsel rocks. Lots of tinsel, really.

There are also quite a few presents stacked under the tree. Each is addressed to a person on the Plane with hilariously appropriate - or possibly inappropriate - wrapping paper.

There is a sign near the tree which reads, “Thank you very much for helping us. Please accept a gift, completely and utterly free. It is our payment. We feel you’ve earned it! Did you know some trees stay green in the winter? But they‘re so prickly.”

At the bottom of the sign a small scribbled note reads, “We tried to bake cookies but even we wouldn’t eat those.”]

But he...couldn't he just be in his own world? [There's a note of desperation in Hei's voice.]

[madamemoiselle]

Well, that's possible too. But...Ikki hasn't been here in a long time either.

{With a little laugh} I bet he's just busy. Ah, maybe that tournament started, right?

[contract_star]

...Maybe...that might be it...

[madamemoiselle]

{She looked down for a moment, standing to wrap her arms around Hei, speaking warmly}

He'll definitely come back.

[He doesn't answer, but he does hug her back, a little stiffly.]
