Merry Christmas!

Alright. Commandant, Liv, get into position.

3, 2, 1—

(Crash!)

OUCH—!

What's the big idea! Who ran into me! I'm gonna saw you in half!

Am I... Am I too late?! For... For the...

Karenina...?

Picture...! Did I make it in time?!

You made it just in time. Had you not run into Nanami and made her take out her chainsaw, we would've already taken the group photo...

Phew!

What are you doing...?

...Huh? Isn't it a group photo? Are you gonna make me do all this hard work for nothing?!

Wait... Nanami—Huh? What are you doing?

Tehe! I wanna picture, too!

...

Well... I guess there's no turning back now...

...

I guess there's no other choice, but the cabin's too crowded. Let's take the photo outside. It's finally snowing.

Hey! Quit pushing me!

Sorry...!

Put your chainsaw away, Nanami. You'll hurt the commandant...

Scooch over, Liv. You're in the way! I won't be in the photo!

Everyone ready?

Wait! What about Lucia?

...

Okay, I'll...

...

Get ready, everyone! 3, 2, 1—

Wait! I heard a noise coming from the chimney.

Wait...

Everyone, you're the best!

Nanami

Hehehe! Livy! Liv!

Liv

Sigh... Careful, Nanami. You're going to fall...

Lee

Well... Looks there were too many people. The commandant got pushed out of frame...

Lucia

Want to take another?

Liv

Let's take another one... After all, a precious occasion like this is hard to come by!

Karenina

It's just a silly group photo. Who cares if the commandant's in it? I know I don't...! But if you insist...

Nanami

(Sobs) You guys made me look hideous! I wanna take another one!

Lucia

Oh, no. There's no more film left in the camera. That was the last one...

How about we give it to the commandant as a gift from everyone!

Liv

Good idea, Lucia. It's too bad, but I'm really happy with how everyone's work paid off.

The snowy sky, the howling wind, the dazzling fireworks—I couldn't have asked for a better Christmas this year.

Thank you so much for today, everyone! I'm super, super happy!

Lucia

Wait, Liv. There's something even more important.

Liv

Huh? Something even more important?

Lee

Lucia's right. Since the group photo turned out to be a gift from everyone to the commandant, you still need to give a gift.

Liv

Oh, you're right...

Nanami

I know! I know! Liv has been secretly researching M.I.—

Liv

Nanami!! My gift to the commandant is—

—Isn't ready yet!

This is my first Christmas gift to the commandant. I need to make sure it's perfect. I hope you'll like it.

Alright then. Looks like Operation Christmas is finally complete.

I'd say it when perfectly—aside from a few bumps along the way.

...Well, for me... All I got to do was spend Christmas with Corrupted outside in the freezing wind...! I don't want another Christmas like this ever again!
