"Hiiiii! You've reached–" [ There's a pause and some muffled snickering. ] "– Her Royal Idol, Honoka Kousaka, Slayer of Slimes!" [ More giggling. ] "I'm probably majorly busy right now but if you let me know what's up, I'll get back to you ASAP!"
25th
Sparkling strands of tinsel and snow pure white,
The smell of hot cocoa and apple cider too,
A very merry Candlenights, from Sayori to you!
[And then on the other side:]
Every day, I'm really happy that you decided to be my roommate again. I can't imagine life here without you. Even though I don't really know how, I think it would be really fun to write a song with you someday! So I got us something so we can match for our performance, whenever it is! Thank you for being my friend, and don't forget that you're stronger than you think.
[Inside the envelope with the card, on sturdy white stationery dotted with pale blue polka dots, is a poem.
Inside the box is a bunch of music-themed sticker sheets, a cute orange suspender skirt (which matches one that Sayori has gotten for herself in pink), a loaf of strawberry creme bread shaped like Honoka (baked with Natsuki's help), and a New New Aspen ornament carved into a µ shape.]
