[Ugh, no. She'll judge him. She'll say it's cute or something...]

...I'll just open it now then.

[He's not asking Mahiru to take pictures of something like that. That defeats the purpose of doing it at home, where he can't be seen!]

[But alright. He sets his tea cup down for a minute, shifting on the bench to pull the package back out of his pocket. Alright...what have we got in here, then?]

[Not at all! She probably wouldn't even comment on it. But onto the box-

Similar to Hiko's gift, there's a card blocking any hope of seeing what the actual gift is. It's a simple white envelope and an even simpler black card on the inside. There's some elegant gold leafing on the front, but it's clearly not meant to be a birthday card or anything. Likely just a generic, blank card. Surprisingly there's no glitter.

On the inside, the right half of the card is a handful of lovingly drawn doodles. Some of him, some of his classmates, a couple attempts at a shiba...and of course plenty of hearts, as per usual. While there isn't any glitter, there are stickers aplenty. The left has a message carefully penned in purple ink, hearts dotting all the i's. It was clearly supposed to start with "Hiko", but since she originally wrote it that was hastily scribbled out and replaced with "Big bro". Probably done after opening her gift from him earlier.

Hiko Big bro!! -

Even if this is really late, I had to get you a gift! I mean I guess I didn't have to, since that makes it sound like that's the only reason I got one for you, but I wanted to! Cuz it's a really important day, you know? I think Ryslig would be a lot different if you weren't here, and even though it's not really that great that you are, since I'm sure everyone wishes everyone were back home instead, I'm still really really glad that you're around. I don't think I'd have nearly as much fun, or feel nearly as go comf safe.

Happy birthday!!!! Love Mabel!

(P.S. you're super hard to shop for you should like write up a list of stuff you like for people some time!!
P.P.S. sorry this is so short and lame, it's hard to put into words how I feel, so I'll just have to hug you a whole bunch when I give this to you. Better be ready!! (Or enjoy it if I already hugged you by now.)

Once he's ready to move on to the gift itself, he'll find a little tissue paper covering it, separating it from the card. Pulling that back reveals two different things. A gold tie pin and a gold lapel pin. Nothing super fancy but the look on her face clearly says she's hoping it'll be good enough.

Because again. He is really hard to shop for...]
