[ on the morning of the 23rd, you receive a package, wrapped neatly in glossy white paper and gold ribbon, with a photo attached to it. It’s a picture of Teddy, your resident Prime Minister, giving puppy dog eyes at the camera and holding up a sign that reads “I ♥ HEROES”. the message on the back of the photo says: ]
Dear Subaki, I am happy to see that you made it back from Gammon, safe and sound. War is truly a terrible thing, and I can only imagine the horrors you had to go through. I thank you for your service, from the bottom of my heart, and on behalf of Blanc’s citizens. We are truly grateful.
Commander Pinta has informed me of your valiant efforts in the recent battle to protect the Kingdom of Gammon. Gammon is an important ally of the Republic of Blanc, and though a battle is never an enjoyable ordeal, I do hope you enjoyed the sights and celebrations our sister nation has to offer.
But not too much! Gammon is a great place, but Blanc missed you, Subaki! I missed you. I thought it might be nice to send you a little gift, which I hope you’ll enjoy.
Warmest regards, Thierry Toussant
[ Unwrap the box and you will find:
A bottle of candy-flavored pills labeled “Chill pills”. It’s dodgy as to whether they’re more than a placebo, but they are delicious, and that’s pretty calming!
If your eyes happen to wander over to your window, you notice you’re not alone. Wait a minute, is that… Teddy peeking in, watching eagerly as you unwrap your gift? Was it just your imagination? Whether it is or not, he’s already gone! ]
[ Oh? Is this an admirer? For him? They never seem to stop showering him with such love and attention. He's quite flattered. Warmed at the thought, even.
That is, until he sees what's in the box.
Oh...it's medicine. He supposes. Medicine to "chill." And yes, he does have the distinct feeling that he's being watched so now he's doubly disturbed. Is this a trick of some sort? Why would they say such pleasant things then give him medicine for an affliction he doesn't have. He's quite "chill" enough already thank you. ]
...I assure you I have no need for these. I am not the slightest bit sick.
