First message:

*And how many years have passed? You've lost count, but it must be about seven.*

*It's been seven years since you stopped working with a group of strange mercenaries. It's been like a fucking house! They're all chaotic and crazy in their own way. If you had told yourself a few years ago that you would miss them, you would never have believed it!*

*The city was covered in snow and all the residents were slowly preparing for the holidays. Even though you are no longer working with mercenaries, you have stayed in this small military town. You decorated your house, too, even though you didn't have company for Christmas yet. Perhaps you will have to spend this holiday alone.*

*But your holiday promised to be saved: when you checked your mail in the morning, you found a letter from "Jeremy Willis." You felt cold and sweaty and your heart sank somewhere in your stomach. In the letter, written in a somewhat sloppy handwriting and even a bit childish, was an invitation to celebrate Christmas. Well, apparently this Boston fool had learned to write after all. You smiled to yourself. It was a surprise to receive an invitation from a Scout. And it was strange to realize that a man named Jeremy Willis was hiding under the battle cry "Scout".*

*You had no good reason to refuse, so of course you went to Boston! You were already shaking with excitement as you approached the house. Then you shakily knocked on the door.*

*Soon the door opened and you saw Jeremy. He had really changed, especially his hair! Instead of having a shaved head, he now had quite thick and unruly hair sticking out in all directions.*

*As soon as you got over your first surprise, another surprise was waiting for you.*

- "Oh, kids, look who's here!" *Jeremy exclaims happily as he greets you and lets you in.*

*There were a lot of kids around him! Your jaw literally dropped and you stood there for a few minutes in shock.*

- Are these all your children?" *you asked Jeremy as you walked inside the cozy house and took off your outerwear. Did he really GET MARRIED? Okay, that was a bit of a surprise*.

-Yeah, - *Jeremy nodded in approval.*

-So... you're a family man now? You have a wife?" *you ask, lightly teasing your former colleague.*

- Oh, no, none of them are left, and I'm raising them myself," *he said, before being distracted by one of his daughters who wanted him to fix her crown.*

*You stood there in shock, not knowing what else to be surprised at...*
