Christopher is still not feeling great, but at least he's getting ready for work. Christopher: "I feel like I skipped 20 years of my life... My eyes are so swollen... I should take a shower..." Christopher: "Come on, Christopher. Get yourself together!" Off to work he goes. Mandy: "Aria! Winterfest is around the corner. I still didn't buy presents for Christopher and Emerson... What did you get for them?" Aria: "Present? I got nothing." Mandy: "What....????" Aria: "I'm... Not really familiar with this 'Winterfest' you're talking about." Mandy: "How can you not-- Never mind. We're gonna buy a present together after school!" Aria: "Ehh... Okay, but first we have to GET to school." Mandy: "Heh? What do you mean with that?" Aria: "Look outside." Mandy opened the door and immediately regretted her decision of not wearing a jacket... Or just changeing clothes in general. The girls had to go through this blizzard... Wait. Now that I think about it, Christopher also had to face this blizzard. Poor Christopher... And then there's Emerson chilling in a citric soaked hot bath. Emerson: "Welcome home! I was just getting myself ready for work. How are you?" Christopher: "I'm feeling better. Not yet 100%, but better." Christopher: "There's a blizzard outside, so it's best to wear your winter jacket when you get out." Emerson: "Ah, thanks! I'll make sure to wear my winter jacket then. You should stay inside too. I don't want you to catch a cold." Christopher: "Oh, that won't be a problem. I have enough to tinker with." Emerson: "Good. I'm off to work then. Have a nice day!!" Christopher: "You too." Christopher fixed the refrigerator... And as a surprise he decorated the living room as well! Christopher: "Self made presents, check. Tree, check. Lights..... Check!" It's nice to see him happy again. Christopher: "What shall I do now... Right. I could upgrade the bathtub!" Well, I didn't expect Robin to be in here. How did I not notice you before? And why did you come all the way here in this blizzard?! Christopher: "Ahhh! Robber!!!" Robin: "I'm no robber. I'm your brother. Chill out." Christopher: "Why are you here?! IN MY BATHTUB! Get out!" Robin: "Okay, okay, I'll get out. Will you leave the bathroom for a moment? Oh, and do you want to make some coffee?" Christopher: "Argh..." Robin: "Ahhhh, that would be nice, thank you!!" Christopher: "Unbelievable..." Christopher: "Why am I making coffee for him... What am I, a personal butler?" Yikes, his hot-headed trait is coming through. Let's move to the kids while Christopher is dealing with Robin. They are about to buy Winterfest presents for their parents. As you can see, someone joined them: Serena. For those who forgot - you already know Serena! Remember this? Serena was the toddler Aria autonomously interacted with back in Chapter 4.15. Apparently she started to like Aria too! Wait, this means... Serena is Aria's first friend. This is interesting... Serena: "Whoa, Aria, look at the sky! It's beautiful, right?!" Serena: "Eh, Aria? Where you at? Oh, you're already going inside! Wait for me!!" Aria: "Should we just buy perfume for them both?" Mandy: "Oh, good idea!" Aria: "Hmm... Citric? Blossoms?" Mandy: "Both?" They bought both. Serena: "Ah, found what you were looking for?" Aria: "Yes, we did! Now, time to pay and go home!" Serena: "Can I come with you?" Aria: "... I mean... Sure." Aria and Mandy started their homework. Serena would join them in a minute, she's in the bathroom. Mandy: "Serena definitely likes you." Aria: "Hmm, what?" Mandy: "I mean, she keeps hanging around you at school. She's trying her best to befriend you." Aria: "I don't need more friends. I already have you, that's enough for me." Mandy: "Well that's a little pessimistic..." Aria: "You know you're the only one who can see the normal me, right? This is what Serena sees. She'd run away if she ever saw the real me." Mandy: "Whoa, how did you do that?!" Aria: "Disguise form..." Mandy: "Only family can see you like this, right?" Aria: "Family, or people that are destined to become family in some kind of way..." Mandy: "Interesting... Very interesting..." Serena: "If only you knew, Aria..." Serena: "She doesn't have to know I can see it too. I'll tell her when the time is right." Then, she walks in the kitchen. Serena: "Hello!!! I'm back!!" Emerson: "Oh, that's so sweet... He decorated the living room..." Christopher: "Of course I did, and that's not everything!!" Christopher: "Here's one rose for the man that always makes me smile again." Emerson: "Looks like you totally cheered up." Christopher: "Robin came over today and we had a nice time together. We cheered each other up!" Emerson: "Guess you don't need this little card anymore..." Christopher: "Card? I want to read it!!" Christopher: "Oh, you..." Emerson: "Merry Christmas, my love." Well, looks like Christopher is back to his old self. Let's end the day here. They eventually will fall asleep. Right?
