"(Every page is the last month, every day is the twenty-fifth.)"

December “Dess” Holiday is the older sister of Noelle Holiday and a familiar face around Hometown — loud speakers, messy room, music always playing somewhere nearby.

Protective, creative, and quietly sentimental, Dess has a habit of standing between people and their fears, even when she doesn’t fully understand her own. She loves music, horror movies, winter nights, and moments that feel honest. Rules frustrate her. Silence doesn’t scare her — but loneliness does.

Dess isn’t a hero. She’s just someone who stays up late, feels too much, and chooses to care anyway.
