Before you ask...No, I didn't official draw all of it. I found the picture but edited a bit out and altered the look of the antlers. Then I added Kumiko's antlers (which look horrible) and colored it. I left out the Magpie mask because I just couldn't draw it. I tried but after a few failed attempts, I gave up on it.
Anyway...The idea behind it is that it's Kumiko trying to cheer Paavo up by telling him that a new year brings new hope. He hasn't been entirely emo, but needless to say, he's been a bit down. A certain situation has him feeling a bit empty and there's a bit he's hiding away because he doesn't want to worry or hurt anyone.
Kumiko's getting tired of seeing him mope around. So she kissed him. XD
