Indeed, it was vital for him to visit her, as one of her three [[shape-child]]ren had begun stabilising into a “[[Tiny Thymon]]” to replace the adult Thymon in [[the Void]], and thus needed frequent visits from his uncle to imprint on his [[eldritch energy]]. In December 2019, with [[Christmas]] being newly-introduced to the Homeworld, Thymon asked [[Philatel-426]] to let him have a week off starting on December 25th, which the Postmaster reluctantly granted. On the night of the 24th, however, Philatel went through [[A Christmas Carol|a ''Christmas Carol'' experience]] thanks to [[the Three Spirits]]. The [[Ghost of Christmas Present (A Copper-Colored Christmas Carol)|Ghost of Christmas Present]] took him to see Spatium's residence in the Void, which was processed for his understanding as a “small, poor house”; there he witnessed Spatium and [[Squire Psykha]] setting up a Christmas dinner in expectation of Thymon's arrival, with [[Tiny Thymon's first sibling|the two]] [[Tiny Thymon's second sibling|undifferentiated shape-children]] observing, before being joined by the increasingly sickly Tiny Thymon. Spatium, worried for her son, was dismissive of Thymon's proposed toast to Philatel. | Indeed, it was vital for him to visit her, as one of her three [[shape-child]]ren had begun stabilising into a “[[Tiny Thymon]]” to replace the adult Thymon in [[the Void]], and thus needed frequent visits from his uncle to imprint on his [[eldritch energy]].

As per the classic ''Christmas Carol'' scenario, the [[Ghost of Christmas Yet-to-Come (A Copper-Colored Christmas Carol)|Ghost of Christmas Yet-to-Come]] went on to show Philatel a possible future where, due to Philatel continuing to keep Thymon at work too often, Tiny Thymon vanished altogether; the scene he saw was the surviving members of the family assembling at a spot picked out by Lord Thymon as very “[[g$#^&n]]”, apparently a relevant quality, and singing “one of Tiny Thymon’s favorite hymns to the [[Elder Gods (A Copper-Colored Christmas Carol)|Elder Gods]]”. However, this future was soon averted as Philatel had a change of heart, giving Thymon much better working conditions and even promoting him to Co-[[Prefect]] as he dropped in on the Embodiments' Christmas feast in person.
