Typically, Sunny hated wearing black. Hated people seeing her in black. Hated referring to herself as black. She always felt like she looked half dead. But her friends had convinced her it would be amusing because what white people nonsense was this and Mama was looking for ways to spoil her in another holiday season spent apart and... she found a way to make it bearable. She was watching everything with more than a little amusement in her eyes, taking in all the details she could. Chichi would die laughing.

"Release the Kraken?" Sunny murmured into her drink as she investigated one of the ludicrously black Christmas trees.

She wondered if anybody would get that reference.
