Raised in the Church of Night, Nick's never celebrated Christmas before, but it's important to Charlie and Rosie, so it's important to Sabrina, so it's important to Nick. He'd basically given Rosie and Charlie free rein to decorate the apartment, which is draped in lights and glitter, the tree shimmering merrily in the corner. It's not dissimilar to some of the festivals that he had celebrated in his life. The iconography is different, though.

They've carved out time to spend together, in the midsts of all the other meals, all the other obligations with the found families that they've made themselves. Nick had agonised over gifts for the girls, less so for Charlie, and they're neatly wrapped in paper and metallic ribbon. He's proud of how pretty they look, if he's honest.

They stagger their way home, down the mountain and back to Nick's apartment. It's a tide of humanity, everyone getting their loved one and themselves back into the warmth and the light. Nick has to all but carry Sabrina, she's spent so much of herself in the fight, but he keeps Charlie and Rosie in the corner of his eye, and it's not long until he's pushing the key into his front door and letting them all inside.

"I'll sort you all out some stuff to wear," he says. "And...you must all be starving."
