WHO: Kozue and Renju WHAT: More Presents! WHERE: Renju's Room. WHEN: After Seiko!Dungeon WHY: Sneaky sneaky midgets.
Kozue rapped on Renju's door. It was a reasonable time; after school, after clubs were over, with enough time before dinner that Renju should be in. Even though Kozue was not completely aware of Renju's shut-in habits, she knew the other girl enough to assume she'd probably be in. The first-year was carrying a package, furoshiki-wrapped in a mute green-and-yellow cloth; after knocking on the door, she resettled it in both hands and waited.
She had felt truly strange preparing it—her grandmother had taught her the wrapping technique and it was something she'd always called Fumiko for advice on. What color to use, what folds were appropriate for what gifts and what recipients... And not having to have her choices approved, and not having someone to fall back on when she hadn't been sure, it had been different.
She was pleased with what she'd made, nonetheless.
She waited, shifting back and forth on the balls of her feet.
