“Merry Christmas.”

When I opened my eyes after that unexpected drenching, an old friend stood before me, unrecognizable. Dan and Jerry, the wild duo who had attended every party during their college days, were friends who were so similar and well-matched, yet they drifted apart due to a certain incident.

“Back then, you...”
