Panzer Dragoon Saga - Part 1 - Behold the Precious Wings

All right, so Brief thing.

The year is 2000, and frankly, I could not tell you.

Four? Five? Maddie Grace Webben, as a child, is at Christmastime.

And it's Christmastime in Texas, but not at home.

We're not at home.

I didn't grow up playing Sega.
