(He winces and raises a hand to his eye, sucking in through his teeth and holding his position, tense from the sudden pain. It would be nice to take a moment to figure out the meaning behind it all but when he hears someone approach, he pulls his hand away and turns quickly to see who it is. Pale gold eyes glare in your direction, eyes sharp and bright in an almost wild sort of way...

Once his eye refocuses on its target, both eyes soften and any edge that had been in his eyes just a moment ago passes as if it had never been there. He smiles brightly and laughs.

If you have on your gray loungewear,)

We match!

(If you have nothing,)

You'll catch a cold like that.

(You can also respond to his icebreaker at any time.)

(Tsurumaru can be found sitting in the cafeteria. In front of him are piles of colorful paper and... is this someone's report? Do people still use paper for reports in the future??? He's folding paper cranes and stringing some of them together into a long line.

You're welcome to come over and help. If he notices you watching, he'll beckon for you to come over excitably and either slide a sheet of paper towards you or the end of a line of strung up cranes for you to hold,)

Come here, come here! Give me a hand.

(You could also find him sitting down and watching some of the movies. His arms are crossed and he has a serious look on his face. Of course, he's familiar with the holiday but it's only in the most basic sense. It's a winter holiday. A red spirit gives spirits. Children are happy. That's it.

This is a great opportunity to gather important information. After one movie concludes, he nods his head,)

I see. (He sees?) By exchanging gifts, we can draw out the "Secret Santa" and we kill him easily.

(Yeah, they may have just AI generated a murder mystery movie themed around Secret Santa. Except there was no real resolution and now this old spirit is just filling in the blanks,)

I didn't know this was that sort of festival!

(Is he actually being serious? Is someone going to tell him? Hello?)

(A cold hand reaches for yours and Tsurumaru let's out whine, )

Aaah, my hands are cold! It's so cold! (He's trying to grab your hand. Or stick it into your pockets.) Help me warm up! You can hold me for a little while.
