[ Nodoka's face flickers onto the screen and she's smiling - quite brightly, actually. Her fear from the last curse has been smothered due to her Christmas joy, and her face is tinted with a bright, happy blush. ]
I - t-thank you so much for the wonderful presents. I really don't deserve them, they're all so lovely!
[ She bows a little, the necklace she's wearing tickling against her neck. She opens her mouth to say something more when there's a bark and the sound of something crashing to the ground - and it sounded like something that was now probably broken. ]
Ah! No, Akiko-chan! You shouldn't run, I've said so already!
[ The girl rushes to the side, the camera now focussing on the apartment behind her - and a small puppy looking quite displeased at being meekly punished by a frantic Nodoka. She glances back at the camera and rushes over, smiling nervously. ]
I-I'm sorry! I need to clean up, but - thank you again, and I hope everyone has had a nice Christmas!
