At the Church on Christmas Eve

"Ive no Kyōkai de (At the Church on Christmas Eve)" is the December 24th climax of the Advent Story. On a tree-lined road of white breath and distant bells, he arrives early and traces the church door's grain with his fingers, realizing that every "waiting night" and every "unsaid night" has been leading here.
A simple "Thank you for coming" and "Thank you for waiting" makes their voices catch. Then, under trembling lights, a small gift box is finally passed into her hands. Crossing the distance they could never quite cross before, they exchange "I love you" and "Me too," as the bells overlap softly. Holding even their fear close, they step into the future together, turning this winter night into a true promise.
