[ There is an obnoxiously yellow box waiting for Ryuji outside his Bureau dorm room, bright and early on the 25th. Because even if Lion genuinely had no idea what to get him, they can't abide not doing anything, given everything else.
Inside is a stuffed bear plushie - not a teddy bear, but one of those adorably floppy, Almost A Real Bear If You Kinda Squint ones - and a tin of cookies that have been meticulously cutter'd and iced to look like skulls. They're... mostly cinnamon flavoured, but swapping a few out for a ridiculous amount of chilli powder felt appropriate.
There's also a note, in their too-formal, annoyingly neat handwriting. "Happy Candlenights, Ryuji-san. Apologies if the bear is a bit on the nose - but I thought it might help to have a reminder, for now." ]
