[On the evening of February 13, a white envelope is slipped beneath the front door of Sayaka's apartment unit. On the front is cursively written To Sayaka in black ink. Inside is a small piece of off-white card paper, and a thin bar of mint chocolate wrapped in foil.
The card has the following handwritten, unsigned message:]
Dear Sayaka, Since I've arrived here, you've caught my eye around the Hold. Please accept this gift as an expression from me, an admirer, of my affection for you. Happy Valentine's Day
[Sent at like 7am on the 1st of March I HAVE TO DO TEN OF THESE OKAY]
It Seems You Havent Been Available This Month Anyway But Im Afraid Im Not Going To Have Time For Annie May Watching Myself Either For The Next Several Days As Ive Just Been Sent On A Mission Sorry
[The message comes a little late, after the bakery has been closed for the night.]
Hey. Pick up. Wwhere have you and the kid been all day, anyway? You coulda left a note or somethin'. I had to feed the stupid cat 'cause she wouldn't leave me alone.
Sayaka... I think, maybe, that I should be less relieved to see you on the network listing than I am, but I'm very glad to hear you've been found, and I hope that you're doing all right, and that we can meet up some time soon.
[ sayaka's box is likely the biggest one of riku's stack; it's a little daunting, but he doesn't mind it too much. at least it's not too heavy.
like the others, it's bright white, with a navy blue ribbon. the note that it's from riku is plain, but that changes abruptly once the package is opened.
inside are some tough leather gloves, white in color except for extra padding for the palm and fingers. there's even oil for breaking them in.
underneath that and a few layers of tissue paper is... a small stack of old albums. they're not any old albums--there's a mix of classical, jazz, and pop there, all clean like someone's already gone through them all and wiped them off. the record sleeves make way for the record player underneath; this one isn't heavy, but it works well for a modified version.
merry christmas, reads the card at the bottom of the box. ]
