Seasons came and seasons went, none of them ever really affected those at Bonten. Valentines day meant there was usually more affairs which meant more profit, halloween was only enjoyable to the Haitani's and those that enjoyed clubbing and it was otherwise forbidden to mention around Mikey. Takeomi and Rindou adored St. Patricks day, really just any excuse to get drunk.

Christmas was different though. It was one they avoided touching, too many expected some form of 'kindness' or 'charity' from those at Bonten, hoping Hajime would feel the 'Christmas Spirit' and be less aggressive in his business deals, some even hoped it would somehow lessen Haruchiyo's near psychotic rampage of hunting down traitors, when in reality it only seemed to encourage him. He'd go off making some jokes about 'Krampus coming early' to those that did wrong against Bonten.

But besides that, it was just another cold season filled with issues. Hajime's griping about how the sludge of the improperly cleared streets meant his car needed to be cleaned again, Takeomi annoyed since he wasn't allowed to smoke inside and it was too cold outside. Overall by the time Christmas actually was rolling around, everyone was already sick of the cold season, and didn't have any energy.

Everyone except one member, Haruchiyo, hyped up on some new drug that he'd only intended to 'test' before they released it to the streets, was now all too full of energy and determined to make everyone else deal with it.
