Author's Note
"'Flop... Hello, Amélie here. It sure has gotten cold, hasn't it?! Right over there, my old guy and his staff members are drawing manga and talking in a daze about how this year is almost over. C'mon lady, want to go for a walk?! I'm not leaving this spot for any other reason, you know.'"
