How could my Christmas turn out so desolate? Honestly, the festive cheer feels utterly absent. That's perhaps why I found myself in this bustling restaurant, surrounded by people yet still engulfed in solitude. Suzanne isn't here. Instead of celebrating Christmas together as planned, I'm left to navigate this day alone. I can't even reach out to Arianne and her because I know they each have their own holiday plans, and we don't typically mark the occasion with grand festivities at home.
~~It's Christmas, my love.. I'm searching for you. Why are you distant? You've left me~~
And oh, the music filling the air here is grating on my nerves. Why does it carry such a melancholic tone? It only serves to deepen my sense of gloom. With a sigh, I idly toy with my champagne glass on the table, my posture slouched, head bowed low. It's a bleak scene, being here all alone. Meanwhile, all around me, if they're not with family, they're in the company of a significant other.
