[Today, Nahyuta will find several thoughtfully wrapped bags of chocolate in the mail--one for each member of their household. Each has a personal, handwritten note to go along with it, and his says:]
Dear Prosecutor Sahdmadhi,
Happy Valentine's Day. I've made some chocolates for the occasion and I hope you find them to your liking. Thank you for all your support the past months, both here in Empatheias as well as back in our world. I hope we'll continue to get along in the future.
[It had admittedly slipped Nahyuta's mind that this day had any significance in Ema's country. Nonetheless, the chocolates are gratefully received, and he hurries to return the favour in kind. She receives some chocolates in return -- although not handmade, given the last-minute nature of the gift -- along with a single red rose.]
Dear Detective Skye,
Thank you for the kind gifts, and I hope you will accept mine in return. Although in Khura'in a cut flower might represent the mere transience and fragility of life, I have read that abroad, it can also be used as a token of affection. That is my intention here.
Likewise, I must thank you for the generous support you have given to me. I consider your companionship as something to be treasured above all gifts.
