Performing music near the holidays is always stressful for most musicians. Concerts, charity functions and just practicing to keep up with their skills can take a toll on both them and their relationships. This Christmas Eve is no different for two very special people.

A pianist, struggling with staying afloat, attends a charity banquet to help pay for his rent and other living expenses.

A cellist, aggravated by her roommate's incessant partying and her own problems, decides to go for a walk.

(Set in a universe with Christmas and the like.)
