I feel as if I'm either going to go insane or be violently ill. I can't decide which.

Ah, sorry! I'll take them down on the 26th at the very latest. Guess you're not a fan?

[anesthetizes]

I've never been terribly fond of Christmas, no.

[leekspin]

But you're familiar with it! That's good. Do you celebrate something else? I don't mind expanding!

[anesthetizes]

Yes, I am familiar with the winter holiday traditions, but I don't celebrate any of them. As a matter of fact, there are no holidays that I celebrate anymore.

[leekspin]

Really? Why is that? If it's all right to ask, that is.

[anesthetizes]

I fail to see the point.

[leekspin]

Well...to relax, and take a break, I suppose! And spend time with your friends and family. You can also give someone a special present you've been saving, so it doesn't seem so awkward if you were to give it to them any other day.

The food is really good too!

[anesthetizes]

I have no friends or family.

However, I suppose you can consider the garden a Christmas gift from me, hm?

[leekspin]

I think it counts as Christmas gifts for a century, Grantz-san. Birthdays too! Thank you so much, I really do love it. And I'll be your friend, so there you go! We can drink punch together.

What can I get for you, though?

[anesthetizes]

I'm glad you've enjoyed it.

Getting a gift for me isn't necessary, Inoue-san. Although... if you would be willing to participate in an experiment or two, I would appreciate it. After the holidays, of course.

[leekspin]

Ah...maybe? Actually, there's a lot more I'd like to know about my powers, so this might be good for the both of us. As long as there's no cutting or dissecting?

[anesthetizes]

There will be no dissection, I assure you, although I might like a small blood sample.

[leekspin]

I'm okay with that! This might be really interesting, I look forward to it.

[anesthetizes]

Wonderful! I look forward to it as well. I hope your spirits don't mind cooperating.

[leekspin]

Well...Tsubaki might not agree to it. It depends on what's involved, but he doesn't like coming out unless it's for a specific purpose. He really likes being put into action...or eating sausage.

[anesthetizes]

Hmm... Well, I'm sure we can find something to convince him to participate.
