Marvel Holiday Special 2004 #[nn]
In "The True Meaning of...", Scott and Emma make the unexpected choice to stay at the mansion over the holidays, opting to keep Kevin company when everyone else has left. With the mansion quiet and the world outside celebrating, Kevin faces a rare moment of connection—despite the fear his powers inspire in others, especially when he accidentally touches something organic and causes it to decompose. The story, written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and illustrated by Roger Cruz with inks by Victor Olazaba and colors by Chris Sotomayor, captures a quiet, heartfelt moment of solidarity, all set to a cover by Kaare Andrews.

Scott and Emma decide to forego their previous holiday plans to stay at the mansion with Kevin. Everyone else is gone for the holidays and Kevin's stuck with nowhere to go. You see, his powers are something a lot of "normal" people fear - he has the ability to decompose anything organic that he comes into contact with.
