"... the hashtag has inspired several high profile mutants in the entertainment world, particularly mutant pop star Dazzler, to put up personal accounts of the discriminations they've faced growing up as mutants. However, the Mutant Liberation Front, or at least hackers claiming to be them, have seemingly hijacked the movement on several social media sites, using the hashtag while "doxxing", defined as "sharing the private personal information of an individual or group, anyone that has publicly spoken out against mutants. The internet has become a battleground like any city street..."
"... special diplomat Haller faced many questions arriving back in the United States today. She has stated she had no comments on Genosha's threat of war against the US. President Kelly's diplomatic relations with Genosha have largely been criticized as failures, and many in congress and in the public in general seem to be in favor of preparing for the inevitable..."
"... Reverend William Stryker, uncle to the late Donovan Zane, has lead a vigil lasting several days now on the steps of Congress and refuses to be moved until Mutant Registration has been passed. Public support is turning overwhelmingly in favor of registration as the nation mourns the young man, Donovan Zane, whose life was taken in the midst of a violent protest..."
"... with the coldest temperatures on record. Volunteers are urging everyone in District X to be extra careful as the season progresses, to regularly visit the shelters and soup kitchens, and to not try to brave the winter storms alone. They have also put out a mass call to anyone willing to help out, with food, blankets, and/or warm clothing..."
"... a nation on the brink of war. President Kelly addressed the nation saying that 2019 will not be a repeat of historical mistakes or tragedies. He says he refuses to believe the spirit of the American people are so willing to give in to bigotry and surrender to what is perceived as an inevitable war with Genosha. It can be stopped, he urged. He said we all have to look at ourselves and find the courage to do the right thing and love our fellow person, no matter what the circumstances. President Kelly continues to believe in his vision of hope for humans and mutants..."

[You know what's good on cold days? Hot drinks! Caelius has stopped by to snag one with the intent of heading straight back to his office, but he winds lingering to check the weather report.]
You know, earlier in the year, someone suggested I look into the idea of a self-heating coat.
[He almost sounds...wistful? It was a simpler time. A better time. A time when he could walk outside without wearing three coats over a sweater.]
I should have done that while I had the chance.
II. Counseling Offices & Surrounding Hallways
[Cooking and baking weren't exactly foreign activities to Caelius, but in the case of the latter, most of his experience came from when he was still living with his family. Even then, it had largely been to assist his mother when she needed help rolling out pie crust or cookie dough. Cupcakes were not something he had ever dabbled in.
So, considering his relative inexperience, he had made a batch to test out the recipe first. And then another one. By the third, he felt satisfied with his work, but then that felt like a lot of cupcakes to give one person, even if that person was Reimu. And he was sure that with everything that had been in the news lately, other people could use a pick-me-up, and...
Anyway, long story short, there's a plate of cupcakes sitting outside his office. They're fairly plain—chocolate on chocolate, with some colorful sprinkles added on top when he thought that looked too drab—and not spectacular, but they're pretty tasty and made from scratch.]

[Wait, no, what he means to say is—]
That's the opposite of what I need, though.
[Wait, that's still not—]
I mean, that sounds like the exact kind of dodgy product I was referring to.

That's what I mean, though. It sounds like the kind of thing that would be overcharged for, only for it to stop working within a month.

[He sighs, but the sound is a little exaggerated. It's true that he avoids going out more than is necessary when it's too cold, but...]
But, are you fine with staying in all winter?

Well, now I see. And here I thought you just liked lazing around. [Caelius pauses, then, eyes lowering briefly before he asks:] Hey, Reimu?

Thank you. Hearing that made my day better.
