   Summary

   The former assassins are living a life of peace in a world where they no longer have to fight tooth and nail to survive. And yet, things can never be so easy as a healthy, happy ending. Perhaps attending the illyrian government's annual Christmas party might ease tensions and encourage steps away from old bad habits?

   As if.
