[Naija is blurry with darkness. The ice on the lake is beautiful, thick and shining to bursting with light that looks like it'll drip into the water at any moment, droplets sinking bright into the depths. But the light is mostly trapped there. Only when she swims up close to it can you really make out her face. She's a little gaunt looking. She sighs.]

Can anyone help me get out of here? The ice has frozen too thick for me to blast through.

[She's humiliated. She's been trying to get through for days like a true metroidvania protagonist, missing her classes.]

[When they finally fish (har har) her out of there, she looks cold and hungry. Which is not all that surprising, given that she's still wearing the glorified bathing suit that is her normal clothes. She clings to her good samaritan, trying to pull as much body heat from them as possible.]

I keep looking at the calendar and getting anxious. Not only is it almost midterm time for me, I also gotta worry about Christmas shopping.

I mean, I could do all my shopping online, but that feels a bit devoid of the spirit, right? Father Christmas doesn't go around checking off Amazon wishlists, that's just devoid of humanity, right there.

So I propose this! When midterms or finals or whatever are over, let's all go on a group shopping trip!

There are lots of shopping centers in Manhattan, right? Something for everyone! We'll make it a big school thing, and everyone can chip in to get gifts for our loved ones and family and whatnot!

Well... I think it's a good idea anyways.
