"Heeey, you've reached Yang! Well, actually, you didn't reach far enough, 'cause I'm not here right now! But don't yang up! Just leave a message on this baby, and I'll get back to you soon enough, okay?"

... Fire away.

[rollin]

It's still far away... but what do you want for Christmas?

[flaredo]

Chris... what?

[ surprise she has no idea-- ]

[rollin]

[ Maybe she didn't hear? Or maybe she doesn't know. ]

Christmas! The day when you give out presents and eat cake!

[flaredo]

It's a holiday? It sounds like what you'd do on a birthday.

[rollin]

Technically, it is. Anyway, it's on the 25th. Of December, I mean. Everyone gives gifts to their family and friends and stuff... so hurry up and tell me what you want.

[flaredo]

I don't know! You could feed me again and I'd be fine with that.

[rollin]

No! Not on Christmas. That's too... much.

[ Because Christmas is also a holiday for couples in Japan JEEZ YANG. ]

[flaredo]

Too... much? Why?

[rollin]

'Cause you're supposed to spend Christmas with family, or friends, o-or... someone you like... or something. Especially the last one.

[flaredo]

...

[ Huh. ]

Okay. Then I want you to feed Saya for Christmas.

[rollin]

[ Throws a sponge at her face!! ]

I'm serious!

[flaredo]

[ Dodges!! ]

So'm I! That'd be a great gift!

[rollin]

... I guess you can't go wrong with food...

[flaredo]

Of course not! Food's a universal gift.

[rollin]

But HOMRA's gonna throw a Christmas party anyway... She's gonna be 200% full, oi.

[ He's discussed this with literally nobody, but it happens every year. Well, it should now, right? Because Totsuka's back! ]

[flaredo]

Maybe if you did something the night before?

[rollin]

[ Hmm. ] But I'm not good at fancy dinners...

[flaredo]

So why not a dessert? It's still something you made.

[rollin]

[ He hums in thought. ]

She likes sweets, I guess... Hey, what do you think she'll like?

[ Because Yang is suddenly the expert here. ]

[flaredo]

...

[ THROWS THE SPONGE BACK AT HIM. ]

I'm not an expert on her tastebuds!

[rollin]

[ He catches it! ]

Alright, alright. I'll... think of something. There's still time.

[flaredo]

Of course there is. [ she has no idea when it is. ] Just drop hints, see what she stops to look at in bakery displays.

[rollin]

Okay. But it's gonna be a surprise. ... Don't tell her.

[flaredo]

Lips, sealed, etcetera.
