Digital illustration of the whole clan from NU:carnival spending the longest night of the year together in the woods. Its overast, but moon shines bright and you can still see the stars and a faint shape of golden eyes and neon markings looking down at the scene below. The woods are decorated with lamps and fairy lights, illuminating the snowy pines. Father is resting on one of the strings that suspends the lamps in the air. Aster and Morvay (with a pomegranate in his hold) in their little guy forms are circling over the two people in the center of the piece and everyone else's s attention: Dante and Quincy. They're performing a dance, holding each other's hands over the burning bonfire. Dante is dressed up in special Solarian dancing attire, waving high a golden scarf in his free hand. Quincy is wearing a reddish winter cloak that I intended to look like it was passed down to him in his tribe. They both look at each other, their expressions joyful and relaxed, a rare sight to see.
On the background, Blade holds Topper high, cheering on the pair. Garu stood up and is urging Rei to dance too, which Rei complies to with a smile. Yakumo, with his hands full of Yule Log cake, watches Dante and Quincy in awe, with Olivine next to him enjoying some mulled wine. Eiden is munching on some gingerbread cookie, with tears in his eyes, seeing two of his loved ones performing something this beautiful together. Rin is way less amused, but is still acting civil and holding a cinnamon stick from his mulled wine with his mouth like a straw, perhaps for comfort. Edmond is on the opposite side, cozied up and treating himself to some tangyuan in broth, his attention fixed on the dancers.
