[ Tiny Taiwan is walking around or on top of a ladder covered in Christmas lights and tinsel as attempts to hang them on the front of her house at 1245 Williams Road. On one hand, she looks like she could use some help! On the other, she looks like she's having so much fun... She doesn't celebrate Christmas, not like this, but cold weather and recent events have gotten her in a Christmas mood.

The cafe isn't open around this time yet, but passerby may notice the sudden addition of a pair of plum blossom trees in her front yard. ]

Look, I'm a Christmas tree!

[ Chances are she's talking to Pops, Nadeko or Homura, who are inside the house, but feel free to approach her while she's decorating, too. ]

Hi, um, I have a question!

[ You can just tell this isn't important. She is all about the trivial things today. Oh well, they easily take her mind off the events of last week! ]

Are nations allowed to kiss each other? Is that okay? If your nation kissed another nation, would that be okay with you? [ A beat. ] What if they weren't a nation?

I really want to know! Because I don't want to not be a nation if it's not allowed... Thank you!

[ TAIWAN WHY DIDN'T YOU FILTER THIS SCREAMS ]

Hey! Mayfield's a town filled with cuties, isn't it? Yeah, cuties like you! But it's a shame we can't see those face forever, huh... Hmm, that's right, it's a really sad thought. It kind of made me cry, too, you know! But that's why, for a limited time, I'll be offering a special service to everyone! As of today, my photo studio is now open! I can preserve all your memories and stuff with my state-of-the-art equipment. Yeah! I'll make you look even prettier or more handsome, too. Just leave everything to me. I'm pretty good at this!

After having your pictures taken, be sure to stop by the cosplay cafe for a snack! Please don't make the employees uncomfortable, though, or I'll get really mad. Hehe, by the way, we're hiring, you know. So if you think you can do the job, just look for Taiwan, okay? You don't have to teleport or go in through the chimney or pick the lock on the door or break in through the window or anything, we'll just be outside... _{Oh, right, I need to fix that window!} Anyway, if there aren't any questions, please stop by! Thank you!

<sub>[ Taiwan recently regained equipment to set up a photo studio in her own home, so outside the cosplay cafe, you'll also see a sign that says PHOTO STUDIO HERE along with a cheap price listing of the services available and some samples. Most photo samples look normal, but-

HOLD ON. Before you go ahead, here is what you should expect: photos like these or something like this. Aren't they nice...

Taiwan will be either at the cafe serving customers or in the garage-turned-photo studio, editing pictures, calibrating her equipment or practicing makeup on a drone. N-no, she just dragged them there... ]</sub>

Tag!

_{[ Taiwan pats you on the back. She looks like she wants to play! But somehow, if you're intuitive enough, you'll get the feeling this is all part of a bigger plan... ]}

✿ action 3

_{[ It's getting crazy cold for this nation, so here is the return of Taiwan and her million layers of sweaters. Outside the music store, Taiwan's tiptoeing and looking through the glass window. There's a piano that she wants... If only she had the money! She sighs forlornly as she clutches her wallet with both hands. ]}

Aiya... Well, I guess I'll just work even harder this month. I'll cut down on grocery expenses, too.
