005 ♪ audio ♪ belated holiday wishes
[Just in time for the new year, a few people will find some familiar cards sitting in their rooms, or their mailboxes, or wherever Luke remembers to put them. Each is unsigned, but attached to a package of extremely expensive chocolates wrapped messily in garish, sparkly holiday wrap.
NATALIA | Patience.
ION | Wisdom.
ASCH | Devotion. and no one was surprised
FLORIAN | DINOSAUR!!!! and Pride.
UMI | Friendship.
He only keeps the "love" card for himself, even though he bought a present. That one goes into his dresser, along with the red card and its wish: "I'm going to keep living."
Later in the day, Luke is off work and happily writing in his real journal again while checking up on the community.]
So... people are about to celebrate the new year?
It feels too soon. I don't know why. [The device picks up the 'clink' of a glass being set on the desk.] At least the seasons are the same. Mostly. I don't remember snow suddenly melting in the middle of winter, but Baticul didn't get this much snow anyway.
Oh! And thank you for the presents. I wasn't really expecting anything, especially since I'm new to the City... and I had no idea what Christmas was until about two weeks ago.
[There's a pause as he writes down something else.]
Ah, Natalia? I need to talk to you. [Doesn't that sound ominous?]
