[ Alex really did mean to follow the sound. He did. It carried well enough, and he's got those young, spry ears...or something. But about halfway through the second chorus the fugue state he's been in since he started realizing Candlenights was Christmas and oh fucking goddamn shit he hadn't gotten anything for anyone two days ago and there's no fucking magic and fdoasidsfsakfew

So he starts singing into a rolled up poster (when did he pick this up...?) while heaving bag after bag of findings, and right into that third chorus, he loses all control and forgets where he is.

You know what last Christmas was like? He was planning a trip to Paris, to finally put everything to rest, and he had dinner with his parents and his girlfriend, who he poorly serenaded with whatever dumb love song he could find. So...yeah. He gets lost in the moment, maybe a little willingly, leaning into it and belting out the bridge with passion. Trying to sing every part of the final chorus, jumping from lyric to lyric.

The bags have fallen to the ground by the time he's done. The dumb, euphoric energy sort of evaporates; Clear would've shoved him and covered his mouth and made a big show of hating it, so he knows it's just a little daydream. ]
