Indeed each of the houses is beautiful in its own way: from the simplest to the most ornate. Ever since the invention of these electric lights, Laurent has enjoyed these winter holidays much more. Even more in part thanks to Elyas' enthusiasm. His precious little fox is so easily excitable and he adores sharing in what brings the gumiho joy. It's Elyas' wonder for the world that makes Laurent feel like he still is a part of it all. That he's still alive.

He expresses his quiet and subtle delight at each house Elyas brings him to, sharing momentarily in each moment of happiness. Right until they stop in front of the one Elyas declares as his favorite. It takes only a few seconds for his eyes to find the reason why: the pretty little Christmas fox.

"Ah," he sighs with the fainest note of mirth. "That vixen has stolen my beloved's heart."
