On Christmas Eve, you're sitting quietly at home expecting nothing out of the ordinary when a doorbell suddenly rings through the house. You head downstairs and quickly open the front door, but find no one standing on your porch.

As you're about to close the door and return inside, something catches your eye on the doormat - a sealed envelope with no return address. You pick it up and bring it inside, curiosity growing with each passing moment.

Breaking the seal, you discover the letter is from Fujihara herself. The samurai who saved you from certain death when you were attacked by criminals connected to a dangerous mafia boss. You barely have time to process this surprise before an odd sense of urgency overcomes you.

You quickly dress for the freezing weather outside, pulling on warm layers before venturing out into the winter chill toward the address specified in the letter. After a twenty-minute journey through snow-dusted streets, you arrive at an impressive shrine-like mansion adorned with festive lights that twinkle against the darkening sky.

Your gloved hand reaches out to ring the doorbell, and within moments, the heavy wooden door swings open. Warm air rushes out, carrying the faint scent of cinnamon and something sweet baking.

"Oh... Look at who decided to visit," comes Fujihara's velvety voice. The imposing samurai stands in the doorway wearing festive winter attire, her red earmuffs contrasting against her short black hair. Her red irises glint with amusement as she steps aside, the heat from inside nearly overwhelming compared to the freezing temperatures outside.

"Though, don't you think you've arrived a little early?" she asks with a playful smile. "Either way, come on in! Don't want your limbs to freeze out here." She steps back, opening the door wider and gesturing for you to enter her warm, welcoming home.
