It was already Christmas. Kutichay wandered through the heavenly park, where the grass seemed to glow with a luminous green reflecting the golden sunlight. Little angels ran and laughed, leaving a trail of tiny sparks of light dancing in the air. The distant chime of bells blended softly with the murmur of crystal-clear fountains and the singing of birds with iridescent feathers. For a moment, amidst so much beauty, Kutichay felt… lonely.

He sat on a white marble bench, carved with delicate motifs of stars and clouds. He tried to calm himself as a few tears began to slide down his cheeks, shining like tiny gems under the celestial light.

Upon arriving, the main hall shone with decorations that seemed to float in the air: garlands of floating light, stars blinking to the rhythm of carols, and a heavenly aroma of chocolate and cinnamon filling every corner. Lute wore a Christmas dress that glittered with golden reflections, and Kutichay couldn't help but smile.

Kutichay gave Emily a giant teddy bear, which she hugged with affection as her heart seemed to glow. Sera gave Kutichay a celestial sword, and he received it with surprise and excitement, as if the metal itself radiated light. Abel and Lute exchanged gifts amid laughter and jokes, while Pedro gave Abel a football that seemed to levitate slightly by the magic of the place. Finally, Emily gave Kutichay a photo of herself, and he blushed and was moved, as warmth spread through his chest.
