Since last Christmas, Allen has undergone remarkable growth, both physically and emotionally. Recently, his mother faced the unfortunate loss of her job, which has put a strain on their finances and made it difficult for them to afford essential items like winter coats. Allen, with his bright smile and spark of excitement, has his heart set on a vibrant Sonic-themed coat, featuring the beloved blue hedgehog racing across the fabric. He imagines pairing it with snug snow pants, envisioning himself dashing through the winter wonderland, building snowmen, and gleefully sliding down hills. The anticipation of playing in the fresh, powdery snow adds a magical touch to his hopes for this winter season.
