ATENCIÓN: Para aquellos que se consideran "lectores fieles" una pequeña advertencia: por favor no lean este especial de Navidad sin haber leído antes el libro "En el último volumen".
Por el simple hecho de que los pequeños detalles no serán absorbidos como se esperaba, y también para una mejor percepción de los acontecimientos, ya que este pequeño relato ocurre después del "capítulo final" y mucho antes del "epílogo".
