I'm about to clutch tightly to the bottom of my hat and protest that I'm very happy to get something from Jin-san, but then he's shoved a box into my arms and I have to rush to keep from dropping it. Upon closer inspection, it's a selection of ornaments for the tree.

Then he smacks me on the shoulder, although nowhere near as rough as Luka used to, and directs me to decorate.

"I, ah, okay?" It comes out more of a question than an acknowledgment, but to be honest, I'm just glad to be given a direction. Parties are fairly out of my element, so having something to do is a relief. I head over towards the tree, opening the box when I get there and starting to space the ornaments out as evenly as I can on the green branches.
