Very well then, here's the short and simple version.

[charaFace D 0]

@Nightingale Santa
Ebenezer Scrooge, a rich and notoriously miserly old merchant, is visited by three spirits on Christmas Eve:
[k]

@Nightingale Santa
The Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future.
[k]

@Nightingale Santa
They show him how he became so coldhearted in his past, the effects his cruel policies are having on his clerk's family in the present...
[k]

@Nightingale Santa
...and how the path he is on now will lead to him dying alone and unloved in the future.

@Nightingale Santa
Today, it's believed that the publication[sr]of “A Christmas Carol” in 1843...
[k]


@Nightingale Santa
...directly led to the popularization of Christmas celebrations in England as we know them today.
[k]

[charaFace D 6]

@Nightingale Santa
The day of the Nativity is a very important one,[sr]both for soldiers and for myself.
[k]

@Nightingale Santa
I might have even celebrated it traditionally when I was still a child.
[k]

@Nightingale Santa
But that all went away once[sr]I began living my adult life.
[k]

@Nightingale Santa
Truthfully, my childhood memories are so hazy that I just can't be sure if I celebrated it or not.
[k]

@Nightingale Santa
The idea of an old man who embodies the holiday, whether you know him as Santa Claus or Father Christmas, hadn't yet been established in my time.
[k]

@Nightingale Santa
So even though I have lived in two very different times that share Christmas as a major event...
[k]


[charaFace D 8]

@Nightingale Santa
...I still understand neither[sr]Christmas nor Santa Claus.
[k]

@Nightingale Santa
At least, that's how it seems to me.
[k]

?1:That doesn't change the fact that you ARE Santa Claus now.

[charaFace D 0]

@Nightingale Santa
If you say so.
[k]

?2:It's okay. I'm sure you've figured it out.

[charaFace D 1]

@Nightingale Santa
...Thank you, Master.
[k]

[charaFace D 6]

@Nightingale Santa
Hm? Hold on. Did you say “figured it out”?
[k]

@Nightingale Santa
Don't you mean to say that I[sr]will figure it out one day?
[k]

@Nightingale Santa
Hmm...
[k]

[charaFace D 0]

?!

@Nightingale Santa
All right, Master, let's be on our way.
[k]

[charaFace D 5]

@Nightingale Santa
I'm sure there are still other Servants out there suffering from the delusion that they should be Santa Claus...
[k]

@Nightingale Santa
...so we cannot rest until they have all been treated and this disturbance's mastermind is brought to light.
[k]

[charaFace D 0]

@Nightingale Santa
Oh, by the way, Master[line 2]
[k]

@Nightingale Santa
I believe you have an idea of[sr]who the mastermind may be, yes?
