EREN WAS SLOWLY MINCING the carrots, his eyes lowered but not focused on the knife and vegetable below him. He didn't know why he was so out of it today, maybe the fact that it was nearing Christmas.

"Oh! Eren! Be careful!" he hears a voice beside of him and he slowly turns, seeing Rico's sister stepping forward nearly panicked after seeing the situation ahead of her.

She gently takes everything into her own possession, ordering for him to go and rest while she does the cooking. It made Eren snap away from whatever trance that took him away and he frowns, apologizing several times until she shooed him away.

Eren returns to the living room, the area where the most Christmas held. Rico's sister's daughter was there on the floor, playing with several of her dolls she got last year.

His attention on her quickly shifted when he turned to the Christmas tree. Yesterday night, Rico and her sister combined it's pieces together and situated up in the corner. Eren observed the tree, like he was searching for something.

Ornaments and other baubles dangled, the fireplace's dim light bringing some glow to them and there was an angel positioned on top of the tree.

He didn't know why he expected to see the ornament you made when you were little. The ornament he wanted to see every Christmas for the rest of his life.

Eren wondered about you. About your Christmas. If you were okay and living happier. He wanted to see you, even if it was just five minutes. You both didn't have to talk, you didn't have to see him, he just needed to know if you're happy.

"You miss her, go back," Rico's voice appears behind of him and she crosses her arms. Eren remembered her leaving for work that morning and he didn't hear her coming through the front door.
