back when he still lived in seattle, the one occasion that the whole of his mother’s family would gather for was his grandmother’s birthday - they’d all go and pack into her tiny house, all his aunts, uncles, and cousins, and just spend a full day together. it was the only chance he got to see them all at once, and a few days after it’d happen he’d just start counting down to the next one - but that didn’t carry on into moving to texas. his father was estranged from his own family, so when they moved down, there wasn’t really much family to gather with, and most holidays were just skipped over. the closest thing he does have now to a family gathering is just meetings with the diablos - but really, that’s good enough for him. so long as the whole family's there, he's happy.
