[Normally, Lisbeth hates sentiment. She usually hates holidays like Christmas where you're supposed to show your affection for someone by buying them a gift. All of the year's transgressions were forgiven for one, two days or maybe even a week.
It used to make her sick. But when she was put in the protective care of Palmgren and learned what he wanted for her in life, she began to warm up to the idea. She got him gifts for birthdays, holidays, and even at random.
The changes she experienced in Siren's Port and Exsilium only made her even more giving to those she cared for. That's why Lisbeth had set the VR at Christmastime in Stockholm. It's easily one of the most beautiful times of the year in the city. Colored lights dotted apartment windows and shop fronts were decorated for the season.
Lisbeth grabs Jesse's hand and slips it into the pocket of her leather jacket. She's wearing her hoodie underneath. She's excited that he's here with her; if he doesn't like it here, Lisbeth wonders if they can request being sent back to a different place.]
