"Oh! Well," Taisei started ticking people off on his fingers, looking slightly uncomfortable. "I invited Chie, and her sister too I guess? And Jan! And, uh, a couple people from my work... And uhh." He was pretty sure there were other people he'd invited - wasn't there that guy at the fish stall the other day, who'd overheard him talking to Yuudai? - but he couldn't quite remember. And he was starting to get nervous about Jiro's facial expression.

It was just that he'd never thrown a Christmas party like this before, and it was so exciting that he wanted everyone to be here!

Besides, he hadn't invited that many people.

... Surely they wouldn't all show up, anyways.

(Taisei started preparing an extremely logical and convincing business-theory based argument for why this party was really definitely a good idea, seriously, Jiro, okay?)
