[SPECIAL: NEW YEAR'S GREETING]
[The entire cast is gathered in front of the camera. Jester is wearing "2026"
glasses and holding a bottle of champagne that is clearly actually a Molotov cocktail. Carmilla is holding a glass of wine, looking elegant. Odette and Clara are waving sparklers.]
Jester: "HEY! You! Yeah, you reading this on the screen! Guess what? You survived another year! That deserves a round of applause... or a round of artillery fire!"
Carmilla: (Placing a hand firmly on Jester's shoulder) "Let’s stick to the applause, Jester. We are under budget restrictions for explosive repairs."
Odette: "We just want to say thank you for sticking with us through the chaos."
Clara: "And for reading our story!"
Jester: "May your 2026 be filled with laughter, joy, and—most importantly—CHAOS! HAPPY NEW YEAR!"
Carmilla: (Raising her glass) "To new beginnings."
Jester: "Now... RUN! I think I accidentally lit the factory on fire again!"
[FADE TO BLACK with the sound of festive panic and party horns.]
Happy New Year!
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE
