Dear Noel,

Hi there, it's me, Ragna. It s Christmas again. The day we first met. It s funny how I remember everything that happened so clearly even though you would often laugh at me because I forget a lot of things. But today s different; no matter how I try, I can't forget that time. You were sitting alone in that park with a stuffed panda in your hands (you seem to like pandas a lot, don t you?) and I passed by- ran, rather- chasing the jacket that the wind had blown off from me. At first, I didn't notice you, but then you laughed at my predicament, and instantly, you caught my attention. You were the usual blonde, blue-eyed young lady, but you were bubbly and cheerful; something I don't see too often.

We had a light conversation immediately after we had introduced ourselves. At first, I thought you were some crazy chick that was obsessed with pandas, but after that little chat with you, I found out that you were a kind girl who had been living an optimistic life to make up for your tragic childhood. I was shocked, to say the least; you looked fine, not like those idiots at the alley wearing black and slitting their wrists like mad men.

Remember the cafe we spent our Christmas in? What was the name... Litchi's! Yeah, it slipped my mind. You were picking lots of treats to go with our hot chocolate that I felt I was being deceived by my eyes. You had almost a dozen cupcakes that time, I was beginning to worry about my wallet's future. Joking aside, you are one of the few- no, the only person, whom I've shared a Christmas with. What? It sounds funny? I'm serious! So yeah, that's all I could afford to say right now. I wanted to come over so we can have chocolate at Litchi's again, then walk you back home like we did that time, but sadly, I couldn't. Believe me, I want to, really, but I have to take care of my sister Saya. She got a fever yesterday and- Oh, don't frown! I promise I'll come over when Saya gets better. Merry Christmas and a Happy Birthday, Noel. =)

Always here for you,
Ragna
